Fraser Health has been in touch with us, and will be holding a 3rd Dose clinic (tenant only) during the afternoon of October 26, 2021. If your family member received two doses, the care facility will be seeking consent from the resident/tenant or substitute decision-maker for administration of the third dose. We will be offering the Moderna vaccine for third doses. If your family member received the Pfizer vaccine for their first or second dose, it is safe and effective for them to receive Moderna for their third dose. You can find information about the Moderna vaccine on the BCCDC website. If your family member has not had the opportunity to start the COVID-19 vaccine series and is interested in doing so, please let their care facility know as soon as possible. Residents will also be offered the seasonal flu vaccine on 26 and 28 October Your family member can receive a third COVID-19 vaccine and a seasonal flu vaccine at the same time with no ill effects. For general information about COVID-19 vaccines, please visit the BCCDC website.
