After you book your appointment, please complete an electronic consent form to save time during the immunization clinic check-in process.
Please ensure your child's immunization records are up to date and available to the staff at the immunization clinic before your scheduled appointment. You can update or view your child's immunization information online at Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON). Ensure your child receives the appropriate vaccine(s) by updating their immunization record in ICON before the clinic appointment and bringing the immunization record (yellow card) to the clinic, if available.
Student catch-up immunizations clinics will be offered to all eligible students and are available by appointment only. Clinics are limited to students in JK through Grade 12 with exceptions for graduated students and for measles immunization noted in the eligibility table below.
During your appointment, your Public Health nurse will advise how many doses of vaccine you will need to complete each series, based on age and number of doses previously received.
