Book Your COVID-19 Booster Vaccine Appointment
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING A COVID-19 VACCINATION
Health Canada advises that over time, protection from COVID-19 vaccines can decrease. Booster doses trigger your immune system to make more antibodies, which can increase the immune response and help improve protection against COVID-19. Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters, will help protect you from severe COVID-19 disease. This is especially important with the Omicron variant widespread in Canada and the possibility of new variants.
Health Canada has now authorized the first bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine for adults 18 years and older. It targets 2 strains of the COVID-19 virus (original strain and Omicron strain).
Both the original COVID-19 booster vaccine and bivalent booster vaccine are very effective, and it is recommended not to delay getting one, especially if you are at an increased risk.
To book an appointment for a Covid-19 booster dose (Recommended interval since last dose is 6 months but can be given 3 months after last dose. If you have had a Covid-19 positive test result it should be at least 84 days since your negative test result before booking your booster dose)
