If it has been at least 3 months since your last COVID-19 vaccine or infection, you may be eligible for an updated dose this spring. While a 6-month interval is ideal for a stronger immune response, getting vaccinated earlier is still safe and effective.

Most individuals are advised to receive one dose per year. However, the following are recommended to receive two doses annually:

  • 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 of severe COVID-19 disease may also consider a second annual dose.

High Risk & Priority Populations include:

  • All adults 65 years of age or older
  • Those 6 months of age and older who are:
    • residents of long-term care homes and other congregate living settings
    • individuals with underlying medical conditions that place them at higher risk of severe COVID-19, including children with complex health needs
    • pregnant women and individuals who are pregnant
    • individuals in or from First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities
    • members of racialized and other equity-denied communities
    • health care workers and other care providers in facilities and community settings

Staying up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations is crucial for protecting yourself and those around you. For more information: https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-vaccines

*Please note there may be a decreased immune response to the vaccine, but has not shown to pose a safety risk, when provided sooner than the recommended 6-month period by National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI).

*Based on vaccine availability and eligibility. Vaccines are currently being shipped to Pharmacies by province. Check the province details to see if available.

NACI will continue to monitor the evolving evidence and will update guidance as needed. For more information: Summary: Guidance on the use of COVID-19 vaccines for 2025 to summer 2026 - Canada.ca

  • How can I get access to my COVID-19 vaccination record?

    You can get a copy of your COVID-19 vaccination records through your provincial health website.

  • Should my child receive the COVID-19 vaccine?

    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.

  • How soon will my child be protected against COVID-19 after their first dose?

    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.

  • What are the side effects of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?

    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

    Serious side effects are rare. If you have concerns about any symptoms following vaccination, consult a healthcare provider. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms after getting a vaccine:

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

    The Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada, and provincial and territorial health authorities continue to monitor the use of all COVID-19 vaccines closely and examine and assess any new safety concerns
