PORCUPINE HEALTH UNIT - COVID-19 AND INFLUENZA VACCINATION CLINICS

 

Spring COVID-19 Vaccine Program: April to June 2024

 

The Ministry of Health recommends the following groups receive an additional vaccine dose this spring:
  • Adults aged 65 and older,
  • Adult residents of long-term care homes and other senior living communities,
  • Individuals aged 6 months and up, who are moderately to severely immunocompromised due to an underlying condition or treatment, or
  • Individuals aged 55 and older who are First Nations, Inuit or Metis, and their non-Indigenous household members who are 55 years and older.
The spring booster is particularly important for those at higher risk of severe illness, especially if they missed the fall 2023 vaccine.
If you do not fall into the above categories, stay tuned for further guidance from the Ministry of Heath.

 

NOTE:

  • COVID-19 and flu vaccines are also available at some primary care offices and local pharmacies.
  • Please make an appointment for every family member wanting vaccines.
