We will be offering targeted vaccinations to people aged 40 and older in Squamish and in the Kensington neighbourhood of Vancouver. Both have been identified as high-priority communities based on recent data. This program will provide an additional and safe route to earlier vaccination and protection from serious illness and hospitalization for those aged 40 and older in these communities.
Appointments for residents 40 and over (born in 1981 or earlier) will be available through the provincial online platform or call centre, beginning Tuesday, April 20.

The list of pharmacies will be updated regularly. Appointments for AstraZeneca cannot be booked through the VCH COVID-19 vaccine appointment booking line.

Please arrive on time for your appointment and avoid arriving early. This will help us follow public health guidelines, maintain physical distancing and keep everyone safe.
