New Brunswick Public Health is gearing up for the spring COVID-19 booster campaign.
Vaccines will start being administered on April 2, though appointments will open on March 25.
“In following with recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, the spring booster campaign will be focused on populations at increased risk of severe illness,” Dr. Yves Léger, acting chief medical officer of health, said in a news release.
Those eligible include people aged 65 and older, those living in long-term care facilities, and immunocompromised residents.
It is recommended that those who are eligible wait at least six months after their last vaccine or COVID-19 infection, whichever is more recent.
The spring campaign for people at increased risk will end on June 15.
“If you have not been vaccinated as part of the current vaccination campaign that began Oct. 16, we encourage you to do so,” said Léger.
You can book appointments either online, by calling 1-833-437-1424, or by contacting a participating pharmacy.
