COVID-19 Vaccines: Dose Information

Stay up to date on all COVID-19 vaccine doses

Keeping up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccines continues to be one of the most effective ways to protect yourself against serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19, as vaccine protection can decrease over time.

What does staying up to date mean?

  • 6 months – 4 years: Completed a primary vaccine series.
  • 5 years and older:
    • Not at higher risk: Completed a primary series and received a booster dose (monovalent or bivalent) on or after September 1, 2022.
    • Specific high-risk populations: Completed a primary series and received a booster dose within the last 6 months

This helps to protect you, your family, and your community from COVID-19.

Where to get vaccinated? See the COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments/Walk-ins page for the City of Thunder Bay OR the District COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics page for district communities.
