Spring 2025 COVID Booster dose
​​​​​​​​​​​Ontario is offering a spring 2025 COVID-19 booster because:
​
-
Protection wanes over time: Immunity from previous COVID-19 vaccines or infections decreases after several months, especially for older adults and those with health conditions.
-
New variants are circulating: New variants of the virus (like JN.1 and others) may partially evade immunity from past infections or vaccines, so updated boosters offer better protection.
-
High-risk groups need extra protection: The booster is mainly targeted at people:
-
Aged 65 and older
-
Living in long-term care or retirement homes
-
With underlying health conditions
-
Who are pregnant or immunocompromised
-
-
Reduce severe outcomes: Boosters help lower the risk of hospitalization, long COVID, and death, particularly in vulnerable populations.
​
The province aligns with NACI (National Advisory Committee on Immunization) recommendations, which currently advise a spring dose for high-risk groups if it’s been at least 6 months since their last COVID shot or infection.
Do I need to register online or book an appointment at Carl's:
As of now, no need to register online, or book an appointment. We are accepting walk-ins on daily basis.
​
We are typically fully staffed and we usually do a shot every 2-3 minutes, so you will not wait in the store for long.
​
During the next phase of walk-in, there might be a little wait time depends on how busy it is.
​
To minimize the wait time, please print and fill the allergy forms before you arrive at the store. Forms will be available to be filled at the store but may increase your wait time.
