October clinic schedule for Moderna (bivalent) COVID-19 Fall Booster

Following the arrival of the Moderna (bivalent) Fall COVID-19 Booster, the Public Health Department will be holding vaccination clinics starting Sunday 16th October 2022 for healthcare workers and persons ages 70 and over. The Moderna booster enhances protection against the omicron variant of COVID-19.

The rollout of this vaccine will be in phases based on vulnerability & exposure. It started with persons in care homes and is now being extended to persons over 70 and healthcare workers. Caregivers of persons 70+ are also eligible for this booster in the continued effort to keep the most vulnerable safe.   Persons who had their last COVID-19 vaccination or booster more than 3 months ago are eligible for the Moderna (bivalent) fall booster shot.

As the vaccine is rolled out, it will be made available to other priority groups and noted on each new schedule: 

• Elderly residents (70+)

• Health Care Workers

• Adults 60+

• Individuals with underlying medical conditions (16-49)

• Adults 50+

The new schedule is for the Moderna Fall Booster only. No appointment is required; will be provided on a first come first serve basis. Individuals still completing the primary course of Pfizer vaccine (Dose 1 and Dose 2), should refer to the regular COVID-19 vaccine schedule.
