Review the information sheet and after-care sheet for COVID-19 and influenza (Flu). Prepare any questions you have for clinic health care providers.

What to bring to your vaccination appointment

If you have a health care card, bring it with you to the clinic. If you live in the Yukon but do not yet have a Yukon health care card, bring your health card from your other province or territory.

You should bring your immunization record (yellow book) if you have it. Wear a loose-fitting or short-sleeved shirt so that your upper arm can be reached.

What infection control measures will vaccine clinics have in place?

• Masks will be made available for those who choose to wear them;
• clean or sanitize your hands on entry to the clinic;
• Stay home and rebook your appointment if you're sick or experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.

Immunocompromised people

People who are moderately to severely immunocompromised will follow a different COVID-19 immunization schedule. This may include:

• active treatment for solid tumour or hematologic malignancies;
• receipt of solid-organ transplant while taking an immunosuppressive therapy;
• receipt of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (within 2 years);
• receipt of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years);
• moderate to severe primary immunodeficiency (for example, DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome);
• stage 3 or advanced untreated HIV infection;
• those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS);
• active treatment with the following categories of immunosuppressive therapies:
  • anti-B cell therapies (monoclonal antibodies targeting CD19, CD20 and CD22 );
  • high-dose systemic corticosteroids (for example, a prednisone dose of ≥ 2 mg/kg per day or ≥ 20 mg per day for ≥ 14 days);
  • alkylating agents;
  • antimetabolites;
  • tumour-necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors; and
  • other biologic agents that are significantly immunosuppressive.

Examples of biological agents that reduce immune response include:

• cancer chemotherapy;
• radiation therapy;
• cytotoxic drugs;
• calcineurin inhibitors;
• biological response modifiers; and
• antibodies that target lymphocytes.

If you're unsure if you're immunocompromized, contact your health care provider.
