The Prince Edward Family Health Team is encouraging residents to get a bivalent booster as it increases your protection against severe COVID-19 from Omicron variants 40 per cent more than the previous boosters.
Children over 5 can now get a bivalent booster 6 months after their last shot. Bivalent boosters are also available for everyone over 12 years of age, 6 months after your last shot. For the best benefit from your COVID-19 booster, you should wait 3 months after a COVID-19 infection. High-risk individuals can now book online if it has been three months since your last shot.
If you are not sure which bivalent vaccine to get, you are encouraged to speak with the health professionals on site to walk you through your options and help you decide what is best for you.
