Get the Shot
Protect yourself and your loved ones.
Vaccines for influenza and COVID-19 are available by appointment only. Both vaccines are proven safe and effective in reducing the spread of influenza and COVID-19 and the incidence of severe disease from these viruses.
It is safe for individuals to receive both the influenza and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time.
Vaccine appointments can be booked online on the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s website at TimefortheShot.ca. Individuals who wish to receive both flu and COVID-19 vaccines should choose a flu vaccine appointment and let the staff know they would also like to receive a COVID-19 vaccine upon arrival at the vaccine clinic. Individuals are not required to book separate appointments for both vaccines.
Individuals are encouraged to check the website periodically for appointment times as appointments will be added on an ongoing basis.
Those who are unable to book their appointments online also have the option of booking an appointment by telephone at one of the numbers listed below. Homebound or frail individuals who cannot travel to a public flu clinic or visit a pharmacist or doctor can arrange a home visit by calling toll-free:
-
Eastern Urban and Rural Zones: 1-833-951-3884

Residents are reminded to bring their MCP card and to wear a short-sleeved shirt when receiving their vaccine.
Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are also available at no cost through participating local pharmacies and family physicians.
