Official Fraser Health Website – for vaccination information and booking

Here is the contact list of regional health authority call centres, which will be open from 7 a.m. to 7p.m., seven days a week:

• Fraser Health: 1-855-755-2455
• Interior Health: 1-877-740-7747 ‡
• Island Health: 1-833-348-4787
• Northern Health: 1-844-255-7555 ‡
• Vancouver Coastal Health: 1-877-587-5767

Second dose is now at 112 days or 16 weeks based on the efficacy of the vaccine to reach over 90% at 14 days. Protection appears to last longer than the original studies based on real world data. Having a slightly longer delay on the second dose does not increase the risk of getting covid19 and improves its efficacy in the long term.

• people 70-74: First shot April; second shot May
