VACCINES FOR COVID-19: HOW TO GET VACCINATED OR REGISTER

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to help protect ourselves, and our
families and communities against COVID-19.

 * Who is eligible
 * When to consult with your doctor
 * Benefits of vaccination


GETTING AN APPOINTMENT

 * who can be vaccinated now
 * how to register or cancel an appointment
 * vaccination locations


CHECK HOW, WHEN AND WHERE YOU CAN GET VACCINATED:

 * Alberta
 * British Columbia
 * Manitoba
 * New Brunswick
 * Newfoundland and Labrador
 * Northwest Territories
 * Nova Scotia
 * Nunavut
 * Ontario
 * Prince Edward Island
 * Quebec
 * Saskatchewan
 * Yukon


WHO IS ELIGIBLE

COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in Canada are free of charge. They'll be
available over the course of 2021 to everyone who's recommended to get the
vaccine by federal, provincial and territorial public health authorities.

This applies to:

 * everyone in Canada, including those who aren't citizens and who are at least:
   * 12 years of age for the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine
   * 12 years of age for the Moderna Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine
   * 18 years of age for the AstraZeneca Vaxzevria COVID-19 vaccine
   * 18 years of age for the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine
 * Canadians serving in diplomatic and consular missions abroad (and their
   dependents) living in countries where the Health Canada-approved vaccines
   aren't available
 * Canadian Armed Forces members who are serving abroad in countries where the
   Health Canada-approved vaccines aren't available


SPECIAL POPULATIONS

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends mRNA COVID-19
vaccines for everyone at least 12 years of age. This includes people who:

 * are pregnant or breastfeeding
 * have an autoimmune disorder
 * are immunocompromised due to disease or treatment

If you're unable to receive an mRNA vaccine, for example because of an allergy,
you may be offered another approved COVID-19 vaccine.

If you're moderately to severely immunocompromised due to disease or treatment,
you may have a reduced immune response to any COVID-19 vaccine. NACI recommends
you get an additional vaccine dose following your 1- or 2-dose vaccine series.  

Learn more about:

 * Pregnancy, childbirth and caring for a newborn during the COVID-19 pandemic
 * mRNA COVID-19 vaccines
 * How many people in Canada have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine


WHEN TO CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR

If you have questions about getting your vaccine, consult with your health care
provider.

For some people, the decision to get vaccinated will require special
consideration of risks versus benefits.

Consult with your doctor or health care provider if you:


GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

 * have questions or concerns about COVID-19 vaccination
 * are unsure if you should receive a COVID-19 vaccine
 * are planning to or have received another vaccine recently
 * have received a COVID-19 vaccine not approved by Health Canada
 * are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19


AFTER A FIRST DOSE

 * have experienced myocarditis or pericarditis after a first dose of an mRNA
   COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty or Moderna Spikevax)
 * have experienced blood clots with low levels of blood platelets after a first
   dose of a viral vector vaccine (AstraZeneca Vaxzevria or Janssen)


ALLERGIES

 * are allergic to:
   * an ingredient in a COVID-19 vaccine
   * any materials found in the vaccine's packaging, such as the vial cap,
     aluminium seal or synthetic rubber stopper
 * have experienced an allergic reaction after a previous dose of a COVID-19
   vaccine


BLOOD CLOTS AND LOW PLATELETS

 * have experienced blood clots with low levels of blood platelets:
   * in the past as part of your medical history
   * following a viral vector vaccine (AstraZeneca Vaxzevria or Janssen)
   * after receiving heparin (an anticoagulant medicine that prevents blood from
     clotting)


MEDICAL HISTORY

 * have a bleeding disorder
 * have a history of capillary leak syndrome if getting a viral vector vaccine
   (AstraZeneca Vaxzevria or Janssen)
 * recently had COVID-19 and were given specific medications for COVID-19
   treatment


BENEFITS OF VACCINATION

Evidence indicates that vaccines are effective at preventing serious outcomes
due to COVID-19, such as severe illness, hospitalization and death. People who
have already had COVID-19 may also be offered 2 doses for future protection
against the virus and its variants.

Recent reports in Canada indicate that less than 1% of those who were fully
vaccinated have become ill with COVID-19.
