  • Adults aged 80 and older
  • Residents of congregate living settings (e.g., retirement homes)
  • Individuals who are moderately to severely immunocompromised
  • Adults aged 65 to 79 who are at increased risk may also consider a second annual dose.

  • Yes. It is recommended that individuals ages 6 months and older receive an annual COVID-19 vaccine. Although children and enfants are less likely to get very ill from COVID-19, they can still:

      • get ill from COVID-19
      • be infected with COVID-19 and not have any symptoms
      • spread COVID-19 to others
      • experience longer-term effects if they do get infected
      • get a rare but serious complication called multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C)

    Children with certain underlying medical conditions may have a higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

  • Similar to adults, children and youth are well protected against severe illness 14 days after their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Those who have already had COVID-19 may still get vaccinated to protect themselves from getting it again.

  • COVID-19 vaccines approved by Health Canada are safe and effective in reducing the risk of severe illness, death, and long COVID. After vaccination, it's common to experience mild side effects, such as:

      • redness at the site of injection
      • soreness at the site of injection
      • swelling at the site of injection
      • chills
      • fatigue
      • joint pain
      • headache
      • mild fever
      • muscle aches

      • chest pain or pressure
      • irregular heartbeat or rhythm, including beating too quickly, too slowly, or in an irregular pattern
      • shortness of breath
