The Provincial Government is offering a COVID-19 bivalent vaccine as a spring booster dose to specific populations identified by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. These populations include:

• Adults 65 years of age and older.
• Adult residents of long-term care homes and other congregate living settings for seniors.
• Individuals six months of age and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised due to an underlying condition or treatment.

The vaccine will be available until May 1, 2024.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who do not meet the criteria above and have not received a booster dose during the fall 2023 campaign still have access to COVID-19 vaccines. Please visit our website for eligibility.

Individuals can book appointments by visiting TimeForTheShot.ca. Individuals can also receive the COVID-19 vaccine at participating pharmacies.

The COVID-19 vaccine remains an important tool to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19 as well as reducing the risk of severe disease.

Public Health continues to monitor the evidence and evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 and will provide additional guidance as needed.
