Rural and Remote Community Plan

The 2024 COVID-19 Spring Booster Campaign ended on June 30, 2024. It is generally recommended to wait until the fall 2024 respiratory illness season to receive your next COVID-19 immunization. 

Invitations to book a COVID-19 vaccine through the Get Vaccinated system will resume in fall 2024. Pending Health Canada approval, there may be a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall. If you receive a COVID-19 vaccine over the summer, it will result in a delay in receiving a fall 2024 COVID-19 vaccine as there must be a minimum of 3 months between COVID-19 doses. If you have questions, please speak with your Doctor, Pharmacist, or local Public Health unit.
