There will be a combined COVID-19 and flu vaccine clinic at Forbes Hall Nov 2 from 10 - 3:45. This will be for everyone 6 months and older.
You will receive an invitation for either vaccines and you will need to register. (yes this year you will be invited for the flu vaccine) If you have not received an invitation by Oct 24th please email Tessa.Mackinnon@islandhealth.ca or call the Provincial Call center at 1-833-838-2323 to register.
The recommendation is that you receive a COVID booster at least six months after your last dose. If you wish to receive a fall booster sooner, while Island Health is visiting Thetis Island, you may be eligible as long as it has been 3 months since your last dose. Please call the provincial booking line to determine your eligibility: 1-833-838-2323. If you’ve had a COVID infection, it is recommended that you wait 3-6 months before receiving a booster.
Further information will be coming regarding the type of COVID booster vaccine. It will be the bivalent one, but we are unsure whether it will be Moderna, Pfizer or either.
