All Ontarians Aged 12+ Eligible for Bivalent Booster

With Health Canada approval of the Pfizer bivalent vaccine, everyone aged 12 to 17 can get a bivalent COVID-19 booster dose starting Monday, October 17 if they have completed their primary COVID-19 vaccine series.

Starting November 1, flu shots will be available through your health care provider, public health unit and in participating pharmacies, and may safely be given at the same time, or at any time before or after COVID-19 vaccine.

Getting vaccinated remains the best defence against the flu and COVID-19 to help keep Ontarians healthy and out of hospitals.

We recommend Ontarians stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations at the appropriate interval since their last dose, and get an annual flu shot when it becomes available.

To help keep everyone as healthy as possible this fall and winter season, Ontarians should stay home when they are feeling sick and continue to practice good hand hygiene.

All eligible Newmarket-Aurora residents can schedule a vaccination appointment using York Region’s website: https://www.york.ca/health/covid-19/covid-19-vaccination-clinics
