Spring Booster eligibility:

As of April 3, 2023, the Ontario Ministry of Health recommends certain people who are at high-risk of severe illness and hospitalization receive a spring booster dose if it has been at least 6 months since their last COVID-19 dose or infection.

Eligible high-risk groups are:

• 65 years and older

• Residents of long-term care homes, retirement homes, elder care lodges, and other congregate living settings for seniors

• 18 years and older living in congregate care settings for people with complex medical care needs

• Pregnant individuals

• 18 years and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised

• Indigenous people ages 55 years and over, and their non-Indigenous household members aged 55 years and over

For those outside of the high risk groups (listed above):

• There is currently no evidence that supports the need for an additional dose if a booster was already received on or after September 1, 2022

• To be considered up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations:

  • Everyone 5 years of age and older must complete a primary series and get a booster dose on or after September 1, 2022 if it has been at least 6 months after a COVID-19 vaccine dose or a COVID-19 infection

  • Children 6 months to under 5 years of age must complete a primary series
