Spring COVID-19 Vaccine

May 15, 2024 | Canada

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization has recommended an additional dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this spring for individuals at high risk of severe illness due to COVID-19. This additional dose is recommended if it has been at least three to six months since their last dose.

Those at increased risk include:

  • Adults age 65 years and older
  • Adult residents of long-term care homes and other group living settings for seniors
  • Individuals 6 months of age and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised (due to underlying medical conditions or treatment)

Eligible members of the Jamat can obtain a vaccination at a pharmacy, public health clinic, or health care provider office. Vaccination appointments can also be booked online.

For more information including eligibility, vaccination after having COVID-19 infection, and where to get an updated vaccine visit the Government of Canada website.
