Get vaccinated

Being fully immunized with two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination provides the best protection against COVID-19 and its variants. With the Delta variant being the most dominant strain of COVID-19 in Ontario, as well as more dangerous and easily transmissible, there has never been a more important time to get fully vaccinated to protect yourself and our community. 

The vaccine is available at pop-up clinics, pharmacies, and primary care providers throughout Algoma. Find a clinic near you.
