As of Friday April 2, anyone in the Northwestern Health Unit catchment area born in 1951 or earlier can book an appointment to get their COVID-19 vaccine.
These residents can go to the Provincial Booking site or call 1-833-943-3900 to schedule an appointment.
The NWHU says their clinic availability is limited at this time, but more clinics will be added to the provincial booking site in the upcoming week.
If there are no appointments left in your community the health unit asks you to be patient and to try back in a few days.
Throughout the month of April, the health unit notes there will be multiple clinics in all communities in the region.
To date, over 11,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine have been given from NWHU’s allotment.
In addition to those born in 1951 or earlier, the following groups are still eligible to book an appointment:
- Health Care Workers, including staff who work in congregate living settings
- Adult Home Care Recipients
- Faith leaders who provide end of life care, care of the deceased, funerals, home visits to unwell persons, or pastoral care in hospitals, LTCH, etc.
- Indigenous adults, including Metis aged 18+ (and their household members)
Anyone who is in the groups listed above must fill out the NWHU’s registration form to then receive a booking code and instructions from the Ministry of Health.
