Third Dose Eligibility: 

Individuals residing in First Nation, Inuit, or Metis communities who are aged 12+  may be eligible for a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine if they received their second dose at least 84 days ago. Use our third dose eligibility table (below) to determine if you may be eligible for a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine, based on the date of your second COVID-19 vaccine. Third doses may also be available at a shorter interval for specific high-risk immunocompromised individuals. If you are unsure about your eligibility, reach out to your primary care provider, local public health center, or visit the ORI clinic nearest you for support.  

Pediatric Doses (Children Aged 5-11): 

As of November 19, 2021, Health Canada has approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11. The recommended interval for children aged 5-11 to receive their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine is 8 weeks after their first dose. This is the same interval that is recommended for all ages for a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine at this time.
