COVID-19 Children 5-11 Vaccines

Registering & booking your child’s appointment

Any child between five and 11 years old can receive a COVID-19 vaccine. If your child is four years old, you will only be able to get them vaccinated after their fifth birthday. The vaccines are free and your children do not need BC Care Cards to receive them.

Registering your child is easy. It's the same registration system you used to get vaccinated. You can register online, by phone, or at a Service BC office:

Call: 1-833-838-2323

Services BC

If you need help registering your child, don’t remember your child’s PHN, call: 1-833-838-2323 (seven days a week, 7 am to 7 pm (PDT). Translators are available.

Booking your child’s appointment

After you register child, you will receive an invitation to book an appointment. Please be patient as this invitation to book may not come right away. When you do get the invitation to book, please make sure to book them into an All Ages or Ages 5-11 clinic.

*Please do not book your children into pharmacies, as they do not have the pediatric vaccine for this age group.

You can bring your children to get vaccinated when you get your booster dose. Only one appointment is needed for your family if you book at an all ages clinic.
