More first and second-dose COVID appointments are now available in the Eastern Health region, with more appointments added next week.

Eligible residents will be able to book their appointments through the Pomelo website.

Based on current vaccine supply, most of the Eastern Health clinics are offering Moderna—one of the mRNA vaccines.

Eastern Health says all clinics are now identified as mRNA clinics in the booking system, and people will be offered either Pfizer or Moderna according to availability at the time of their appointment.

People are being encouraged to take the vaccine offered. The health authority says both mRNA vaccines are safe and effective and can be used interchangeably for those 18 years of age and older.
