COVID-19 Immunization Clinics

If you would prefer to get a non-mRNA vaccine, you can request the Novavax vaccine.

1. Register with the Get Vaccinated system.
2. Call 1-833-838-2323 to be put on the non-mRNA waiting list.
3. We will contact you to book an appointment.

Once you receive an invitation by text or email, please book your appointment. 

If you book at an Interior Health all ages clinic, you can bring your children age 5-11 for their pediatric vaccine. Only one appointment is needed for your family.

Booster doses provide increased protection against severe disease and hospitalization, and help to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

If you've already had COVID-19

• Even if you've already had COVID-19 and recovered, you should still get your booster dose.
• If you were recently sick, you can get your booster once your symptoms have passed.
• If you have an appointment but you still have symptoms, reschedule for when you will be fully recovered.
• If you've recently had a positive COVID-19 test result, you can wait up to 3 months for your booster dose or get it any time after your symptoms have passed.

Visit Get Your Booster Dose for more information

Parents and guardians are encouraged to register their children to get vaccinated and book their appointment as soon as they are invited. Please note that children should only be booked into All Ages or Ages 5-11 clinics only.

If you're eligible for your booster dose, you can also get it at the same time as your child gets a pediatric vaccine. Only one appointment is needed at an all ages clinic.
 

*Do not book children into pharmacies as they do not provide the pediatric vaccine for this age group

You can drop in at any of our clinics to get your first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. If you prefer, you can also register and book your appointment.

You will be invited for your second dose about eight weeks after your first dose.

A limited supply of the single dose Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine is available for people age 18 and older. One dose of the Janssen vaccine qualifies as an approved vaccine under the Provincial Health Officer’s Orders that require vaccination to work in the health sector. Call 1-833-838-2323 if you would like to get the Janssen vaccine.

People who are homebound or have other challenges, such as vision or hearing difficulties, which make it difficult to attend a community clinic, can request to have their vaccination at home.   

To request a home visit, please call the 1-833-469-9806. The team will assess if the individual is eligible to receive a vaccine at home. If an individual meets the criteria, they will work with you to arrange the in-home vaccination. 

When calling, please have the following information ready: 

• First and last name
• Date of birth
• Personal Health Number (Care Card number, or BC Services Card number),
• Address
• Email address
• Contact phone number

Please also provide any other information that may help the nurse administer the vaccine, such as any diagnoses, allergies, phobias or fears (e.g. needles) and who will be present for additional support.

Alternatively, for clients who require vaccination at home and who already receive home health services from Interior Health please contact talk with your regular provider to arrange your immunization.

Note: In-home visits will only be provided for those assessed as meeting criteria for an outreach visit.

If the person requiring vaccination is able to be transported, we recommend they visit a Community Health Centre as this will be the fastest way for them to receive their vaccine. 

Whether someone needs requires a private space to receive their immunization, more information about the immunization or has a fear of needles, we will work with them to arrange support and accommodations to ensure vaccination is accessible and comfortable.

Examples of special support/arrangements that can be made include: 

• Organizing transportation
• Addressing challenges such as fear of needles
• Arranging to attend a specific drive-through location 
• Arranging to attend a quiet/private space within a clinic
• Help with mobility challenges by arranging to meet at the entrance of the clinic and/or facilitate getting into a seat

To request an immunization appointment at one of our Community Health Centres please call your preferred location. Find your closest location.

• The person booking the appointment will need the client’s:
  • First and last name
  • Date of birth
  • Postal code
  • Personal Health Number
  • An email address that is checked regularly or a phone number that can receive text messages.
