People considered to have the highest risk for severe illness from COVID-19 can now make an appointment online for a spring dose of the vaccine.
The dose will be available from March 25 to May 31.
Those who are eligible to book for the vaccination include:
People aged 65 or older;
People aged 18 and older living in long-term care, nursing homes, senior congregate living settings or residential care facilities;
People who are six months and older who meet the criteria for being moderately to severely immunocompromised due to an underlying condition or treatment;
People aged 50 years and older who identify as Black, African Nova Scotian or First Nations.
Nova Scotia Health recommends people wait six months after their last COVID-19 shot or infection to get a vaccine dose, but a shorter interval of at least three months is allowed for the spring dose, the department said in a news release.
