Find an up-to-date list of events currently planned for Vax for BC.

Registration is now open to anyone born in 2009 or earlier (12+). Visit the Ministry's webpage for more details and info on the fastest way to register.

B.C. youth 12+ can register, get vaccinated against COVID-19

Immunization eligibility

Anyone 12 years or older may now register through the Get Vaccinated online system. Appointments are now being made for:

• People born in 2009 or earlier (12+)

First responder and worker program

Health authorities are contacting workplaces to arrange for workers to be vaccinated. This program continues to be phased in, focusing on communities that are at highest risk.

AstraZeneca pharmacy program

In addition to the age-based and worker programs, vaccinations are expanding for people aged 30 and up who are now also eligible to receive their AstraZeneca vaccine at participating pharmacies, with supply. This is being done after a careful review of the evidence that initially led to a pause in the expanded AstraZeneca vaccine program for younger workers.

Participating pharmacies are listed on the BC Pharmacy Association website

Note: If you got your first dose in a pharmacy and have never registered using the provincial system, make sure you are registered.
