Vaccines do more than protect you from COVID-19, they also protect everyone around you. The more people in a community who are immunized against COVID-19, the harder it is for the virus to spread. Vaccines approved in Canada have followed the same extensive testing as every other vaccine, and are proven to be up to 95% effective in protecting people from COVID-19.

Pregnant People:

Pregnant people are eligible to be vaccinated now ahead of age group bookings.

To book a vaccine appointment:

1. Register online or by phone using your Personal Health Number. If you are already registered, you don't have to register again
2. Call 1-833-838-2323 and self-identify as a pregnant person. The phone agent will book you an appointment
