COVID-19 Vaccinations

Covid 19 Vaccine 4th dose:

On April 7th, the Ministry expanded eligibility for fourth doses (second booster dose) of the COVID-19 vaccine to include individuals aged 60 years and over as well as First Nation, Inuit and Métis individuals and their non-Indigenous household members aged 18 and over.

Additional considerations include:

• A fourth dose should be offered to those who received their third dose (first booster dose) five months (140 days) prior. The minimum interval for the fourth dose (second booster dose) is three months (84 days).

• To maximize the immune response of the vaccine after a COVID-19 infection, it is recommended that individuals wait three months (84 days) after they tested positive, or their symptoms started.

• At this time, it is not recommended to administer a fifth dose (second booster dose) to immunocompromised people.

We are pleased to now be able to offer the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 Vaccine to everyone over the age of 5 years. Please note that, in order to be eligible, the child must be 5 years old at least a day before the vaccine appointment. As per provincial guidelines, children 5 years and older are able to provide verbal consent for COVID-19 vaccination. If the child is unable to give consent, the parent or guardian will be able to provide consent on their behalf.

In order to ensure health and safety of our patients, we are following strict physical distancing protocols and a mandatory face mask policy within our facilities. At this time we will only allow one parent/guardian to come in to our clinical space with all individuals under the age of 18.

As your Primary Care Team, we strongly recommend all receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine is highly effective at preventing serious illness and complications from COVID-19. In order to receive the COVID-19 vaccine an appointment is required.
