COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility and Booking Guidelines

The North Durham Family Health Team is pleased to be included in the list of providers to offer COVID-19 vaccine to eligible patients. Appointments can be booked online by clicking the link below or by calling 905-985-2895 ext. 6070. We will not be accepting walk-ins at this time.

Please review eligibility criteria prior to booking your COVID-19 Vaccine appointment.

Please note that we DO NOT have the new Moderna vaccine. When it is available from Durham Region Public Health, we will start administering it.

Effective July 7, 2023 the Ministry of Health is recommending that individuals 5 years and older consider delaying receipt of COVID-19 booster dose until the fall. Receiving a booster dose in the fall will maximize protection against COVID-19 outcomes when peak circulation of the virus is expected.

We will have limited number of vaccine clinics for those that require a 6-month booster dose or choose to get their booster dose now.

Clinics that we are currently running:

Moderna Bivalent B.A. 4/5 Vaccines for all booster doses for those 18+ years of age, according to guidelines below

Pfizer Bivalent B.A. 4/5 Vaccines for all booster doses for those 12+ years of age, according to guidelines below

Pfizer vaccines 1^st and 2^nd dose (primary series), according to guidelines below. Please call our office at 905-985-2895 ext. 6070 to register for your 1st or 2nd doses.
