Ottawa has one of the highest third-dose COVID-19 vaccination rates in Ontario
As Ottawa Public Health urges residents to boost their level of protection against COVID-19 this fall, new statistics show Ottawa has one of the highest rates for COVID-19 vaccination in Ontario.
According to data from Public Health Ontario, Ottawa has the third highest rate of residents aged 18 and older with three doses of COVID-19 vaccine in Ontario – at 68.73 per cent.
Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has the highest third dose vaccination rates in Ontario at 72.41 per cent, followed by Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Public Health at 71.32 per cent.
All Ottawa adults aged 18 and older are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine, which targets Omicron variants of COVID-19.
Medical officer of health Dr. Vera Etches is urging people to book an appointment to get the COVID-19 vaccine, as COVID-19 levels rise in the community.
"This is a good time to get your level of protection against COVID-19 boosted with a bivalent vaccine, it's a better match with the Omicron variant that is now circulating," Etches said last week.
Appointments can be booked through the COVID-19 vaccination portal or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre (PVCC) at 1-833-943-3900. Appointments will be for a local community clinic. You can also book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment at select Ottawa pharmacies.
