COVID Vaccines
It is recommended that everyone ages 5 and older get a mRNA COVID booster dose:
regardless of the number of booster doses previously received
six months after a COVID vaccine dose or a COVID infection. Three months (84 days) may be considered based on age, risk and health status
people at higher risk of getting very sick should get a bivalent booster three months (84 days) after their last dose or infection
It is recommended that children age 6 to under 5 years get their primary series of COVID vaccinations. The COVID vaccines are safe in children and strongly recommended along with the flu shot to keep your kids safe this winter.
We recommend you stay up to date with your COVID vaccinations. Visit https://www.toronto.ca/home/covid-19/covid-19-vaccines/ for more information.
