How to get your first dose of COVID-19 vaccine

In Ontario, individuals 12 years of age and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

How to receive an earlier second dose 

You can receive an earlier second dose of COVID-19 vaccine,  if your second dose was scheduled later than:

• 28 days after your first dose if you received an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), or
• 56 days (8 weeks) after your first dose if you received AstraZeneca

Important information:

• The Pfizer vaccine will be available to anyone 12+ at all mass vaccination and walk-in pop-up community clinics in London and Middlesex County. In addition to the Pfizer vaccine, the Moderna vaccine will also be available to anyone 18+ at the Western Fair District Agriplex, North London Optimist Community Centre and Caradoc Community Centre in Mount Brydges.
• If you received an mRNA vaccine for your first dose, the earliest date you can receive your second dose is 28 days after your first dose.
• If you received AstraZeneca for your first dose, the earliest date you can receive your second dose of vaccine is 8 weeks after your first dose, whether you receive AstraZeneca or an mRNA vaccine for your second dose.
• Vaccine appointments can only be booked up to 4 weeks in advance. If it’s not yet time for your second dose within the next 4 weeks, please try back closer to your second dose interval date. The online booking system will inform of when you can book your appointment.
• The mRNA vaccines are considered interchangeable. Depending upon the vaccine availability, you may receive a different mRNA vaccine for your second dose than you received for your first. Learn more →
