The provincial government has announced that people 75 and older, rotational workers, regular cross-border commuters, and truck drivers are now eligible to book an appointment at a pharmacy for a COVID-19 vaccine.

Walk-in appointments are not available. When booking an appointment, people should indicate if they are self-isolating as pharmacies may have specific processes for them.

For people 75 and older, a caregiver or family member acting on their behalf can make the appointment.

Rotational workers, regular cross-border commuters and truck drivers must bring proof of eligibility to their appointment.

Regular cross-border commuters can use their multi-use travel registration through the New Brunswick Travel Registration Program. Truck drivers can use a Class 1 licence to demonstrate eligibility and rotational workers can use their travel registration confirmation.

Health Minister Dorothy Shepherd said “Please do not call a pharmacy unless you are in one of these groups or you are calling on behalf of someone in one of these groups. We will announce when booking opens for other priority groups.”
