Youth aged 12-17 and their families and caregivers can now pre-register for COVID-19 vaccination

Tue, May 25, 2021

 

As announced over the weekend, Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues to expand, with youth aged 12 and over now eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine, either at community clinics or at participating pharmacies.

STUDENTS AGED 12-17 AND FAMILIES

 

Algoma Public Health is excited to announce that pre-registration for the COVID-19 vaccine is now available for 12–17-year-old youth and their eligible family members including siblings, parents, guardians and caregivers who have not yet received a COVID-19 immunization. 


By pre-registering, you will be contacted directly to book an appointment during the month of June, where youth 12-17 and any family members who have not yet received their first dose may be immunized together.  The provincial government is prioritizing youth 12-17 to receive their first dose of vaccine before the end of June.


Pre-register online for a youth aged 12-17 clinic.

If you are unable to pre-register online and need assistance registering, please call 705-541-7370 or toll-free 1-888-440-3730 and staff will be available to assist. Phone lines are open Monday – Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

#StopTheSpread

Until the majority of community members are fully immunized, we still need to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 in our region:

  • Outdoor gatherings are limited to five people or less. 
  • Indoor gatherings with people outside of your household remain prohibited at this time.
  • Anyone who is ill, even with mild symptoms, must stay home and self-isolate away from others.
  • Avoid all non-essential travel
  • Wear a mask as required in indoor public spaces and outside when physical distancing cannot be maintained.
