How will I receive the vaccine and how many doses?

​You will receive the vaccine as an injection, most commonly into your upper arm muscle. Please wear clothing with easy access to your arm.  

​You must remain in the vaccination clinic for observation for at least 15 minutes after vaccination.
 
It is important that you receive two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to be fully protected.

AstraZeneca vaccines need to be at least 12 weeks apart.
Pfizer vaccines are 3 weeks apart.

Full protection against COVID-19 will not occur until about a week after your second dose.

We recommend booking an appointment for BOTH vaccine doses so your second appointment is ready to go!
