Updates from Ottawa Public Health - March 9, 2023
The issues with the provincial booking system have been resolved and bookings for the COVID-19 vaccine will resume today at noon.
Residents age 80 and above who do not have a second dose appointment booked will be contacted directly by Ottawa Public Health starting June 3 and continuing throughout the month of June. This will guarantee access to appointments within the standard second dose interval of 16 weeks.
Residents can also visit Ontario.ca/bookvaccine to access the provincial booking system or call the provincial vaccine booking line at 1-833-943-3900 between 8 am and 8 pm, seven days a week. Only book or call if you are eligible. However, there are limited appointments available at this time in June.
More than 100 pharmacies across Ottawa are also receiving vaccines directly from the Province. Participating locations are available on Ontario.ca(link is external). Most pharmacies book appointments ahead of time and some allow walk-ins. Eligible residents should check with the pharmacy directly. Select primary care teams are also offering vaccines.
We will provide further updates about second doses and new appointments when they are available.
