Omicron could boost waning immunity, blood tests show - Canadian Press, January 6, 2022
Dr. Timothy Evans, Inaugural Director and Associate Dean at the School of Population and Global Health and Executive Director of Canada's COVID-19 Immunity Task Force Secretariat is among the experts quoted by the Canadian Press. The story was widely covered in Canadian publications.
