Immunization clinics throughout the Fraser Health region are now providing more people with opportunities to receive a COVID-19 booster dose this fall, including the Omicron (bivalent) booster.

Everyone aged 18 and older is eligible to receive the Moderna Omicron (bivalent) vaccine six months after completing their primary series or last booster dose and will be notified when they can book their appointment. The Moderna Spikevax Bivalent COVID-19 vaccine targets both the original COVID-19 virus from 2019 and the Omicron BA.1 variant. Health Canada approved it for use as a booster dose on September 1, 2022. It is safe and effective.

Twelve to 17-year-olds and five to 11-year-olds will continue to receive the original formulation of the vaccines.

Getting vaccinated is one important way we can protect ourselves and our loved ones against COVID-19 as we head into respiratory season this fall.

Everyone five years and older is eligible for a COVID-19 booster six months after completing their primary series or last booster dose. Watch for your invitation to book:

Age 18 and over: Omicron (bivalent) booster

Age 12 to 17: fall booster

Age five to 11: pediatric booster
