Vaccines available
Both mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) are available at each WDGPH clinic. Every effort will be made to provide the vaccine selected based on the supply available. Public Health recommends that individuals receive the first mRNA vaccine available to them. It is recommended that anyone younger than 30 receive Pfizer. If you would prefer to receive a non-mRNA vaccine, please contact our call centre to make a request at 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7006.
