For help with the consent form or to request a paper copy, please contact us.

Students in Grade 7 and 8 who missed their school clinic can get their vaccines at their health care providers office. If you don’t have a health care provider, contact us to book an appointment.

Immunizations for school and child care attendance

Each year, immunization records are reviewed to ensure that children and youth enrolled in licensed child care settings and schools have the vaccines that are required for attendance. Parents and guardians will be notified if Public Health is missing vaccine information for their child. Dedicated appointments are held for those who require vaccinations during the record review period.

When a child receives a vaccine outside of a Public Health clinic, the parent or guardian is responsible to report it to Public Health. Health care providers do not report this information to Public Health. You have several options to report your child’s vaccinations.

Sexual health immunizations

Travel immunizations

Public Health does not provide travel immunization services. Please contact your health care provider or a travel clinic two to three months before you travel.

Clinical services: Masks

If you are visiting our office locations for clinical services, you will need to wear a mask. Certain exceptions may apply (for example, based on age or medical circumstances). We encourage you to bring your own mask. If you don’t have a mask or forgot to bring yours, we will give you one for your appointment, supplies permitting.
