Covid-19 Vaccine

Starting today, November 3, additional high-risk groups will be eligible to book their COVID-19 booster dose if at least six months have passed since their last dose.

  • Individuals aged 70 and over (born in 1951 or earlier);
  • Health care workers and designated essential caregivers in congregate settings (including long-term care home and retirement home staff and designated caregivers);
  • Individuals who received a complete series of a viral vector vaccine (two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine or one dose of the Janssen vaccine); and
  • First Nation, Inuit and Métis adults and their non-Indigenous household members.

Booster doses are being offered to these groups based on evidence of gradual waning immunity six months after receiving their second dose and a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

Appointments can be booked online at www.covidvaccinelm.ca. If you know someone who does not have internet access, please have them call 1-800-922-0096 x 9 for support. 

Read the full announcement in the Ontario Newsroom.

The decision to offer these boosters and third doses is aligned with recommendations of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization.
