Back to SearchNIPISSING & PARRY SOUND, ON – COVID-19 vaccine clinics will take place in Nipissing and Parry Sound districts this week. The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) will be offering vaccine to all individuals over the age of six months, including the bivalent vaccine as a booster dose to individuals aged 12 and older. The bivalent vaccine is recommended to individuals when six months (168 days) have passed since their last dose or COVID-19 infection. Individuals who are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 may be better protected if they receive a booster dose three months (84 days) after their last dose or COVID-19 infection.
A limited number of walk-ins will be accepted. Individuals are advised to book an appointment to guarantee vaccination.
