Entering British Columbia, Canada
As of 2025, U.S. residents can get vaccinated in Canada, but there may be a cost involved. This means that if you are entering British Columbia, Canada, and need to get vaccinated, you can do so. However, it is important to note that the availability of COVID-19 vaccines may differ by region in Canada, as provinces and territories design and deliver their own vaccination programs. Therefore, it is recommended to check with the specific province or territory for the most up-to-date information on vaccine availability and requirements.
In British Columbia, COVID-19 vaccines will be available in the fall of 2025 to help protect individuals during the respiratory illness season. If you are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, you will receive a notification when it is time to book your appointment. To receive this notification, you must be registered in the Get Vaccinated system. After registering, you will receive a link to book your vaccine appointment online or by phone. You can also easily reschedule or cancel your appointment online if needed.
It is important to note that in Canada, the minimum interval between COVID-19 vaccine doses is 3 months, whether you have been previously vaccinated or not. This means that if you have not been previously vaccinated, you can receive the vaccine at any time. However, if you have been previously vaccinated, it is recommended to wait at least 3 months after receiving your last COVID-19 vaccine dose before getting the updated vaccine. This interval may help improve the immune response.
Additionally, all of your information related to COVID-19 vaccination in British Columbia will be kept private and will never be shared with other agencies or parts of the government. You can access your immunization record online or request a printed copy at a Service BC office.
