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
