Third Dose - COVID-19 Vaccine 

Individuals aged 18 and over will be eligible to schedule their booster dose appointment through the Region of Durham's booking system, Lakeridge Health booking system, participating pharmacies and primary care settings. Appointments will be booked three months (84 days) after a second dose as the province urgently expands booster eligibility to millions more individuals.

Due to the rapid expansion of eligibility for third doses of COVID-19 vaccine, appointments may not be available immediately. New appointments become available when sites and staffing resources are secured and will be released daily at 8:30 a.m., as they become available.
