COVID-19 Vaccination

***BOOSTER DOSES***

** If you have already received a booster dose (monovalent or bivalent) since September 1st 2022, you are considered to be up to date. Additional booster doses are not recommended at this time ***

Simpson's Pharmacy is providing the Pfizer Bivalent booster and Simpson's Apothecary is providing the Moderna Bivalent booster for adults over the age of 18.

Most people under the age of 65 are recommended to get their booster six months after their last dose or 6 months following a COVID-19 infection.

  • Aged 65 or older
  • Live in a congregate care setting such as a long-term care home, Elder Care Lodge, retirement home, shelter or group home aged 12 or older
  • Immunocompromised aged 12 or older
  • Aged 12 or older and have an underlying medical condition that places you at high-risk of severe COVID-19, for example:
