Immunizations (also known as vaccines) are the best way to protect against serious illnesses. Most vaccines are given in childhood or early adolescence (see Publicly Funded Immunization Schedules for Ontario), but it is strongly recommended that students make sure their vaccines are up to date.
We are only able to provide vaccinations to current students (i.e., not partners, children, staff or faculty). If someone does not have a primary health care provider, they can book online to get vaccinated at the local Southeast Public Health unit.
Recommended vaccines:
- COVID-19 – yearly booster available
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Human Papillomavirus (Gardasil-9)
- Influenza (Flu) – yearly booster available
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
- Meningococcal Conjugate (Men-C-C)
- Meningococcal Quadrivalent (A, C, Y, W-135)
- Meningococcal Sero B (Men-B)
- Pneumococcal-C-13
- Polio (IPV)
- Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap)
- Varicella (Chicken Pox)
How to Check Vaccination Records
Students from Ontario can review their records online while out-of-province and international students are encouraged to call their primary healthcare providers and/or local public health units.Student Wellness Services will complete immunization forms required for academic programs including antibody titres.
