COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics
Clinic bookings are now available for doses in the primary series of the vaccine to all individuals aged 6 months and older.
Effective July 7, 2023, individuals aged five years and older should consider delaying their COVID-19 booster until Fall 2023, as respiratory season commences, to maximize protection against COVID-19 outcomes when peak circulation of the virus is expected.
A booster dose prior to Fall 2023 may be appropriate for certain individuals based on their unique health status and personal situation.
Recommendations for fall booster doses will be available closer to Fall 2023.
