Beginning Tuesday, November 23rd, children aged five to 11 will be eligible to book their appointment to receive their COVID-19 vaccination. These appointments can be booked through any of the following channels:
- COVID-19 Vaccination Portal
- Public Health Units using their own booking system:
- Participating pharmacies (children are eligible to receive their vaccine through this channel)
To book an appointment, children must be turning five years old by the end of 2021 (i.e., born in 2016 or earlier).
We are currently developing a webinar to assist parents with questions they may have, in the meantime, below are a few valuable resources:
