Starting, Friday, October 7, adults aged 18 and over are eligible for the bivalent vaccine in Newfoundland and Labrador.  This vaccine targets the original COVID-19 virus from 2019 and the Omicron variant.

Appointments can be booked through regional health clinics by visiting the COVID-19 website. Additionally, appointments can also be made through participating pharmacists and physicians. You may need to check periodically for availability at any of these vaccine sites, as appointments are continually being added as vaccine supply is received.

On September 21, the Provincial Government announced the availability of the bivalent vaccine to those groups considered at higher risk for severe outcomes.
