More Information Released On Second Dose Rescheduling

The province has released more information on rescheduling for second doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

It says people who got the AstraZeneca shot as their first dose on or before April 21st will be able to reschedule their second dose appointment before June 30th.

Rescheduling notices will be sent this week by email to the account people provided at their time of booking.

Anyone who did not provide an email will have to reschedule by calling the toll-free line at 1-833-797-7772.

When rescheduling the second dose, people will select a new date and time at any clinic across the province that has an available appointment.

The province says rescheduling notices for second dose appointments will continue to be sent over the coming weeks as more vaccine is supplied.

People are able to get any of the approved vaccines as a second dose but the province is recommending people who got the AstraZeneca shot for their first dose should get the Pfizer or Moderna for their second.
