Get Vaccinated

Get Vaccinated

After a few weeks of zero positive COVID cases in our community, we now have 6 cases. The need to increase our vaccination rate is more important than ever as there are reported cases of the Delta variant in Morley. Delta spreads easily between people and may lead to more serious outcomes than other versions of COVID-19. In order to protect ourselves and our community, we need to be fully vaccinated.

Vaccines gives us a high level of protection from serious illness and death from COVID-19 variants, including Delta. The more people are vaccinated, the less opportunity the virus has to spread and develop new variants.

COVID Vaccinations

Children 6 mos and older are eligible to get a COVID vaccine. Vaccines are available at the Stoney Health Centre.

Bivalent COVID Vaccines Now Available

The Moderna Bivalent BA.1 vaccine is available as an additional booster dose option for anyone 18 years of age and older. We encourage everyone to get their influenza immunization and — if they are eligible – a COVID-19 bivalent booster dose at the same time. 

Drop by the Health Centre, weekdays from 10 am – 3:30 pm. 

It is recommended to wait at least five months after last dose, and at least five months after a COVID-19 infection before receiving the Bivalent BA.1 vaccine booster dose. This vaccine triggers a stronger immune response and provides additional protection against both Omicron and the original SARS-CoV-2 virus strain.

Getting vaccinated helps protect yourself, your loved ones, Elders and others in the community.
