The Cathedral's Health Ministry Team would like to share the updated recommendations for Spring COVID-19 booster vaccinations. Many people are continuing to fall ill, and our congregation includes many over 65 years, plus families with immunocompromised loved ones.
The information below is from New Brunswick Public Health. Read more details.
The more people who are immunized against COVID-19, the harder it is for the virus to spread. We strongly recommend to stay up-to-date with the COVID vaccines recommended to you. Do your part and get vaccinated.
