All Out of Province vaccines must be reported to Algoma Public Health and entered into the provincial system prior to booking an appointment for the bivalent booster dose.
Note: As of January, 2023, all COVID-19 immunization clinics across the Algoma District will be able to immunize eligible individuals aged 6 months and older.
Eligibility
Use the table below to see which dose you may need next. Find your age to see the doses you are eligible to receive.
Booster Doses Strengthen Protection against COVID-19
All individuals 5 and older are eligible and recommended to receive a bivalent booster dose 6 months after their previous dose in order to stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.
Protection after a primary COVID-19 vaccine series (2 doses) decreases over time, especially against the Omicron variant of concern. COVID-19 vaccine booster doses help to increase protection against symptomatic infection and severe outcomes at the individual level and help to reduce transmission at the population level.
If eligible, it is recommended that a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine be administered as your next dose. If the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine is not readily available, an original COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to ensure timely protection.
