Vaccine eligibility and recommendations

Booster doses (five years of age and over)

  • A booster dose is any dose given after the primary series to boost the immune system. Protection after a primary series may decrease over time.
  • Those five years of age and older who have not received a booster dose since September 1, 2022:
    • You are recommended to get a booster dose if it has been at least 6 months since your last dose or infection with COVID-19.
  • Those five years of age and older who have received a booster dose on or after September 1, 2022:
    • There is no recommendation to get another booster at this time if you are not part of a high risk group. If you still wish to get another dose, you are eligible to receive one if at least six months (168 days) has passed since your last dose or infection with COVID-19.
  • The following high risk groups are recommended to get a booster dose if at least six months (168 days) has passed since their last dose or infection with COVID-19:
    • 65 years of age and over
    • Residents of long-term care homes, retirement homes, elder care lodges, and other congregate living settings for seniors
    • Those 18 years of age and older living in congregate care settings for people with complex medical needs
    • Pregnant individuals
    • Those 18 years of age and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised
    • Indigenous individuals 55 years of age and older and their non-Indigenous household members 55 years of age and older

Primary series (five years of age and over)

  • A primary series is the initial doses that prime the immune system. A primary series of COVID-19 vaccine is two doses for those five years of age and over.
  • The recommended wait time between your first and second dose is two months (56 days). This is to allow for a stronger and longer lasting immune response. You must wait a minimum of 28 days after your first dose. 
  • If you recently had COVID-19, we recommend that you wait two months after you first got your symptoms or after a positive test. (For those with MIS-C, please refer to Ontario guidance)

Primary series (six months of age to under five years of age)

  • A primary series is the initial doses that prime the immune system. Infants and children in this age group can receive either two doses of Moderna or three doses of Pfizer to complete their primary series.
  • Due to the different number of doses between products, those in this age group are recommended to receive the same vaccine product for all doses in their primary series.
  • The recommended time between doses is two months (56 days). If receiving Moderna, the infant or child must wait a minimum of 28 days after their first dose. If receiving Pfizer, the infant or child must wait a minimum of 21 days after their first dose to receive their second, and 56 days after their second dose to receive their third.
  • If they recently had COVID-19, we recommend that they wait two months after first getting symptoms or after a positive test. (For those with MIS-C, please refer to Ontario guidance)
  • Those in this age group are not currently eligible for a booster dose. A booster dose is any dose given after the primary series to boost the immune system. Protection after a primary series may decrease over time. 

Primary series if immunocompromised (have a weakened immune system)

  • For a list of those who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, see Who is considered immunocompromised.
  • We advise that you speak to your health care provider prior to attending the clinic to talk about optimal timing to receive your vaccine.
  • A primary series is the initial doses that prime the immune system. Certain immunocompromised people may develop a sub-optimal immune response to the standard primary series. 
  • For this reason, one additional dose is recommended to complete the primary series.
    • For those five years of age and over, this would mean three doses of an mRNA vaccine at a recommended interval of two months (56 days) between doses. You must wait a minimum of 28 days between doses.
    • For those six months of age to less than five years of age, this would mean three doses of Moderna or 4 doses of Pfizer. Due to the feasibility of completing the primary series, the province of Ontario recommends the use of Moderna for those who are immunocompromised in this age group.
  • If you recently had COVID-19, we recommend that you wait one to two months (28 days to 56 days) after you first got symptoms or after a positive test. (For those with MIS-C, please refer to Ontario guidance) 

Reporting a COVID-19 vaccine dose if received outside of Ontario or Canada

If you are a resident of KFL&A, you can report your COVID-19 immunization through our online form.  

Receiving other vaccines before and after COVID-19 vaccine

  • Anyone six months of age and older may receive a COVID-19 vaccine on the same day, or at any time before or after non-COVID-19 vaccines (including live and non-live vaccines).

Janssen vaccine

Due to the approval and availability of a safer and more effective product, Novavax Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine, we no longer are providing the Janssen vaccine.

If you would prefer to receive the Noravax Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine, book an appointment online.
