As part of the provincial effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, nurses and midwives working in community or private settings —categorized as “community health care workers"—will be invited to receive their COVID-19 booster starting in January 2022. Invitations will be based on the interval from their dose 2 vaccination.
Registrants working in acute and residential care settings should have already received information on accessing their booster shots.
If you work in other areas, such as community or private settings, you need to TAKE ACTION NOW to get a priority access booster shot, including sharing information with staff/colleagues in your office/practice/business.
