ONTARIO - Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health would like high-risk individuals to get their next COVID-19 booster shot.

Ontarians that are considered high-risk include:

  • Individuals aged 18 years and older living in a congregate care setting for people with complex medical care needs;
  • Pregnant individuals;
  • Individuals aged 18 years and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised; and
  • Individuals aged 55 years and older who identify as First Nations, Inuit, or Métis and their non-Indigenous household members aged 55 years and older.

Dr. Kieran Moore expressed the importance of the booster shot. 

“Staying up to date with vaccinations continues to be our best defense against COVID-19 and I’m strongly encouraging everyone, especially those with an increased risk of severe infection, to get all boosters available,”

Moore also praised Ontario for taking their health into their own hands.

“We are grateful to all Ontarians for taking the time to get vaccinated and I’m encouraging everyone to keep helping reduce the spread of respiratory illness by staying home when they feel sick, washing their hands often and covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze.”

Appointments can be booked on the COVID-19 vaccination portal or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900.
