Did you know that each time your school-aged child gets an immunization, it’s your responsibility to report it to Toronto Public Health? Parents and guardians report immunizations when children register for Kindergarten and then each time a new one is received. The school used to collect this information and pass it to Public Health, but a new system is now in place.
All reporting is now done directly with Toronto Public Health either online or by mail. Please see this flyer for more information. These links can also be found on our Links and Resources page. You can update and access your child’s vaccination record online here.
Toronto Public Health (TPH) is holding vaccine clinics across Toronto to give students completing grades 7 to 12 and post-secondary students free important lifesaving vaccinations:
- Meningococcal vaccine (prevents meningitis)
- Human Papillomavirus vaccine (prevents cancers)
- Hepatitis B vaccine (prevents liver disease and cancer).
COVID-19 vaccines will also be offered to students who are not fully vaccinated. Students five years of age and older may receive a COVID-19 vaccine at the same time, or any time before or after, the other vaccines. School mobile clinics are now offering COVID-19 vaccines to everyone age 6 months and older. More information about these clinics can be found here.
