Rural and Remote Community Plan

 

Rural and Remote COVID-19 Spring Booster 

During the spring of 2024, Island Health’s immunization teams will be offering community immunization clinics in specific remote communities within Island Health. COVID-19 vaccine will be accessible to all eligible individuals by appointment at Island Health clinics or at one of the many participating pharmacies. 

Starting April 8, 2024, invitations to book an appointment for COVID-19 vaccines will be sent through the Get Vaccinated system. You will receive a text, email or phone call when it's your turn to book. The locations available for your appointment will be listed in the online system when booking or discussed with you if booking by phone. 

If you haven’t registered already, visit www.getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca or call 1-833-838-2323.
