Vaccination programs

  • COVID-19 vaccination began in Canada on December 14, 2020.
  • You’re currently eligible for COVID-19 vaccination if you’re 6 months of age or older and you don’t have contraindications to the vaccine.
  • The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) issues statements with recommendations on the use of COVID-19 vaccines. Briefly, NACI recommends:
    • a complete primary vaccine series to provide protection against COVID-19
    • booster doses after completing the primary series to restore or improve protection against COVID-19. Please refer to the COVID-19 vaccine chapter of the Canadian Immunization Guide for more details on:
      • booster eligibility
      • timing of a booster dose
      • recommended products
  • On March 3, 2023, NACI released their most recent statement. Starting in the spring of 2023, NACI recommends that:
    • An additional booster dose may be offered, 6 or more months after the last COVID-19 vaccine dose or infection, to individuals who are at risk of severe illness from COVID-19, including:
      • adults 80 years of age and older
      • adults 65 to 79 years of age, particularly if they do not have a known history of SARS-CoV-2infection
      • adult residents of long-term care homes and other congregate living settings for seniors, or those with complex medical needs
      • adults 18 years of age and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised due to an underlying condition or treatment
    • The booster dose should preferably be a bivalent Omicron-containing mRNA vaccine.
    • Individuals who have not yet received previously recommended doses, including a primary series and fall 2022 booster, should receive them now, consistent with the Guidance on COVID-19 vaccine booster doses: Initial considerations for 2023
