About available vaccines
Seasonal Flu Vaccine
Individuals 6 months and older are eligible to get the flu shot.
•It can keep you from getting sick with the flu
•It can reduce severity of flu symptoms
•It can reduce risk of hospitalization and decrease the burden on the health care system during the COVID-19 pandemic.
•It can save your life
•It can protect people close to you because you are less likely to spread the virus
COVID-19 Vaccine
All eligible individuals are highly encouraged to get vaccinated for the health and safety of themselves, their families, and their communities. This includes people who previously tested positive for COVID-19 as well as those who were previously identified by public health as high-risk contacts so long as they have completed their isolation period and are symptom free.
People who have had COVID-19 infection can further boost their natural immunity with the vaccine and those who have been contacts remain susceptible until they get their shot.
Young people and children are particularly at risk because of school and workplace settings.
*Some people may now be eligible for a COVID-19 booster.
Information for vaccines for 5-11
On November 19, 2021, Health Canada approved the use of Pfizer-BioNtech’s COVID-19 Vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends that children 5 to 11 years of age be offered two doses of the special pediatric formula at least eight weeks apart.
