COVID-19 vaccinations and second doses…

The Government of Canada has been reminding us that second doses of COVID-19 immunizations are important. Receiving a second vaccine dose for a 2 dose schedule is essential to provide better and longer-term protection against COVID-19 for individuals and for the entire community.

A different vaccine product may be offered for a second dose, which is known as vaccine interchangeability or a ‘mixed vaccine schedule’.

You can find more information about second doses of COVID-19 vaccines here.
