While Canadians raced to get vaccinated against COVID-19 early in the pandemic, only 15 per cent of the population had their updated shot this fall. But the virus is still spreading.

I only got the invitation in November or so, checked the appt. dates near me and they all sucked - far away or during work. I checked again couple of weeks ago and they had way more slots so I managed to get one close by on a weekend, but I could easily see someone not bothering due to the lack of availability.
Can’t you just go into a Shoppers and get one? That’s what I did. Just a walk-in back in the first week of November
Yes you can. I got a same day appointment at the Rexall near my home.
At least in MB, appointments were still required last time I checked.
Weird. I live in Ottawa and it was literally just walking into my local SDM. I got it and my annual flu shot at the same time.
Sadly unsurprising that this sort of thing is not consistent across the country.
Alberta here. I had no problem walking in to the local pharmacy and getting my COVID booster and flu shot.
Of course, my province probably has the lowest vaccination rate in the country so there is that.
I was in the same situation as you, but on the Monday before being able to get my shot, I got the 'vid.
So, no shot for me this time around.
