12 to 17 years of age
- As of Friday, February 18, 2022, youth 12 to 17 can receive their booster dose approximately six months (168 days) after a second dose.

Individuals must be 12 years old at the time of receiving the booster dose.

Enhanced Vaccine Certificate
Visit covid19.ontariohealth.ca to obtain your enhanced vaccine certificate. Each enhanced certificate contains a QR code that can be saved to your phone or printed as a paper copy. You will be required to present this certificate alongside a piece of ID to verify your vaccination status for certain settings.

Individuals who are more comfortable using their current vaccine receipts can continue to do so.
York Region Public Health can update your personal information (e.g., name change) on your vaccination receipt only if the new information matches what is found on the Provincial health card registry. To update the registry, please contact Service Ontario.
What it means to be fully vaccinated
An individual is considered fully vaccinated if they have received:
- The full series of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by Health Canada (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine), or any combination of such vaccines, or
- One or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada followed by one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or
- Three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada
and
- They received their final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days ago
Vaccinated outside of Ontario
If you received a vaccine not approved by Health Canada, you may need additional dose(s) to be considered fully vaccinated.
If you have received one or two doses of a vaccine not approved by Health Canada, you should receive a single dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) to be fully vaccinated.
If you have received three doses of a vaccine not approved by Health Canada, you may be considered fully vaccinated, depending on the type of vaccine. Find the vaccine you received in the Appendix of Ontario’s COVID-19 Guidance for Individuals Vaccinated outside of Ontario/Canada to determine if another dose of mRNA vaccine is recommended.
If you have received:
- one or two doses of a vaccine not approved by Health Canada and one dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, or
- three doses of a vaccine not approved by Health Canada
you are eligible for a booster dose of a Health Canada approved COVID-19 vaccine three months (84 days) after your last dose (18 years and older only). Visit a vaccine clinic as soon as you are eligible to receive your booster dose.
York Region Public Health maintains COVID-19 immunization records for York Region residents who have been immunized outside of Ontario.
Complete this online form if you have received:
- The first dose of a two dose vaccine series outside of Ontario. Your first dose will need to be documented before you receive your second dose. You will also be required to bring your documentation to the vaccine clinic when you attend your second dose appointment
