His wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, is slated to get her second dose later Thursday.
The Trudeaus got their first doses in late April and received the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
Trudeau has said vaccinations are a path out of the pandemic and praised Canadians in his Canada Day message for getting their shots to help life return to normal.
As Trudeau was making the comments at a farmers market in the national capital, a rally was taking place in front of the Supreme Court of Canada building questioning the pandemic, masks and vaccines.
