COVID-19 booster shots are now available for all individuals over 18.

Public Health is announcing that boosters are available to everyone over 18 if six months have passed since they received their second dose.

Due to the pediatric vaccine rollout, people 30 and older are encouraged to get the Moderna vaccine as their booster by contacting their local pharmacy, physician, or nurse practitioner.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends people aged 18 to 29 receive Pfizer. Due to supply, pharmacies and physicians do not currently have access to the Pfizer vaccine, so individuals in that age group should get their dose at a public health clinic.

Appointments can be booked at the province’s Get the Shot website, or by calling the relevant health authority.
