When and Where to Get Immunized

Influenza and COVID-19 vaccines will be arriving to at pharmacies and to primary care providers in early October, at which time, individuals identified as high risk will be eligible to receive these vaccines. The general population can expect to receive influenza and COVID-19 vaccines starting October 28, 2024.

In November, Grey Bruce Public Health will be holding an Influenza and COVID-19  clinic for children (11 years of age and younger).

Respiratory Syncytial Virus RSV protection is available through primary health care providers to

• infants up to 8 months of age in their first RSV season
• certain high-risk children up to 24 months in their second RSV season
• certain high-risk older adults aged 60-74
• and new this year - everyone who is 75 years of age and older is eligible for vaccination against RSV

Those who are unable to receive these vaccines through their pharmacy or health care provider may book an immunization appointment at Grey Bruce Public Health by calling 519-376-9420, ext 2.

A schedule of upcoming vaccination clinics in Grey-Bruce is available here Event Calendar - Calendar (publichealthgreybruce.on.ca).

Routine Immunizations are available through local medical offices. If you require immunizations, contact your Family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner’s office to book an appointment.
