Eligibility for fourth doses of a COVID-19 vaccination has expanded effective April 7th (Thursday), but patience is required due to the five-month waiting period since your last jab.
As of Thursday, residents 60 years of age and over, as well as First Nation, Inuit and Métis individuals and their non-indigenous household members aged 18 and over can now book a shot if your five months is up.
If you’ve recently had COVID, there’s a further 90 day interval that you will have to from the date of symptom onset or a positive test before you can get what’s also termed your “second booster.”
Eligible residents can visit their local pharmacies to receive the shot, but check ahead as appointments may be required.
Community-based clinics will be offering the the shot by appointment only.
Local dates and venues will be listed on the RCDHU’s social media profiles or through the RCDHU’s COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout webpage.
Alternatively get in touch with Provincial sources at covid-19.ontario.ca/book-vaccine/, or by contacting the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900.
Vaccinated or not, keep following COVID-19 hygiene and distancing protocols and use the COVID self-assessment tool as required.
