COVID-19 Vaccine Information

Vaccines that have been approved by Health Canada are a safe and effective tool for protecting you and your families from COVID-19. Vaccines work with your immune system so your body will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed. This can reduce your risk of developing COVID-19 and make your symptoms milder if you do get it.
