Everyone is encouraged to stay up to date and receive all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, including any booster dose(s), as soon as they are eligible.
Rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in TBDHU district communities continues to align with the plan for Thunder Bay and surrounding areas. TBDHU is working with district partners, including Family Health Teams (FHT), Community Health Centres (CHC) and First Nation partners, who are responsible for administering the vaccines to all community members.
If you are a member of a First Nation community in the Thunder Bay District, please check with your community’s leadership or health care centre for vaccination opportunities.
Eligibility
For information on all doses, including eligibility and dose intervals, see the COVID-19 Vaccine Doses page.
Getting Vaccinated in the District
Find a participating pharmacy, and details on how to book an appointment, by visiting the COVID-19 Pharmacy Locations website and search by postal code or city.
Please contact your local pharmacy to confirm which vaccines they currently have in stock.
Please call your local public health office or your health care provider to access the vaccine. Please see “TBDHU Community Clinics” tab for more information on specific vaccine clinics taking place in the district. For those living in a First Nation Community, please contact your local Health Services.
Please use the Provincial Booking System to view available days and times and to book an appointment. If you have unique circumstances and would like to discuss options for accommodating your vaccine appointment, contact your local public health office.
Individuals needing accommodations, please contact your local Branch office to discuss.
Individuals who would benefit from a calmer and quieter clinic setting are able to make arrangements with their local branch office to receive their vaccine outside of a community clinic. This is suitable for clients who may experience severe needle anxiety/phobia (not limited to), and/or who may require an appointment longer in duration.
Accommodations can be made for individuals who are homebound. If you are homebound and requiring any COVID-19 vaccine dose, please call your local TBDHU Branch office to arrange a home visit for vaccination.
Please contact the health care provider in your community directly to learn more about any upcoming clinic dates, eligibility and to book an appointment.
