Kingston COVID-19 highlights (Canada)

COVID and flu boosters are now generally available in the greater Kingston area from some GPs and from many pharmacies.

Appointment slots are available today and every day this month. I just booked for Friday 🥳

If you live in Ontario, we're privileged to still have free access to flu vaccines & Covid boosters.

Get them! I just did!

Immunocompromised/high risk can go now & everyone else can book now for appointments after Oct 28!

Get them ASAP & you'll help make the holiday season safer for everyone 💪🏻

Yes. The pharmacy at No Frills on Coverdale in the west end. And sign at Costco yesterday said “appointments and walk-ins.”

South East Public Health (Kingston) has a newly updated respiratory health dashboard

Has anyone got walk-in Covid-19 boosters in Kingston so far?

Physician here: Tylenol is a recommended treatment for fever and pain in pregnancy.

As always, Canada sticks with science. 🇨🇦

COVID‑19 vaccines Learn about Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccination program and how to book a vaccine.

Vaccine availability in Ontario. Free.

Everyone 6 months of age and older who lives, works or goes to school in Ontario may receive their COVID-19 vaccine starting on October 27, 2025.

Some may receive your COVID-19 vaccine dose(s) and flu shot as soon as they become available in the fall.

Moderna just received Health Canada authorization for its updated LP.8.1 variant COVID-19 vaccine. The exciting part? It will be manufactured domestically! Their authorization allows parts of the vaccine to be produced at Moderna’s new facility in Quebec, while the fill-finish will be handled by Novocol Pharma in Ontario. The domestically produced vaccine will be ready for this year’s fall vaccination campaign.

I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩

Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!

Happy Saturday! The long days are nice

Border Patrol agent admits to forcing migrants to show him their breasts Shane Millan, after ordering a female migrant to expose herself, allegedly told her, “Welcome to the U.S.A.”

US Border Patrol agent based at Wellesley Island, near Kingston, did this. This is so abusive and stupid!
