COVID-19

Vaccines:

We strongly encourage staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations to ensure protection against COVID-19. Staying up to date means you have completed your primary vaccine series and have had a booster dose in the past 6 months. Booster dose(s) are recommended based on the ongoing risk of infection due to waning immunity, the risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and the adverse impacts on our health system from the pandemic.
