Starting today, the general public can book an appointment to get a fall booster shot for COVID-19 and influenza (flu) through Toronto Public Health (TPH) ahead of a potentially challenging season for respiratory illness.

TPH said the vaccine bookings are opening up to combat COVID-19 and the flu “in anticipation of a surge in respiratory illnesses this Fall.”

Toronto residents will be able to get their updated COVID-19 vaccine and flu vaccine at the same time at fixed-site vaccination clinics, pharmacies or primary health care providers. Bookings open today, with the first appointments for the general public starting on Oct. 30.

By "General public" does that mean those who are not "high risk"? Also is this a one shot solution for both covid and flu or just 2 shots?

Yes, starting from October 30th, the updated vaccine is available for everyone, not just those considered high risk. However, there are two separate shots, and they are administered during the same appointment

Thats still convenient that we can get both. Thanks for the info.
