Ontarians between the ages of 12 and 17 can now receive Pfizer's bivalent COVID-19 booster dose.
ONTARIO - Teens between the ages of 12 and 17 can now receive Pfizer-BioNTech's bivalent booster shot in Ontario.
It targets the BA.4 and BA.5 strains of the Omicron variant and it was approved by Health Canada earlier this month. Moderna's bivalent booster was approved five weeks ago and it targets the original virus and the first Omicron variant.
Vaccination appointments can be booked through the province's booking portal online here.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore is encouraging everyone to get vaccinated this fall.
“Vaccines improve your immune response and reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization and post-infection symptoms. We recommend Ontarians stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations at the appropriate interval since their last dose, and get an annual flu shot when it becomes available.”
