Where to Get Vaccinated

Walk-ins are welcome at our COVID-19 vaccination clinics. All other Public Health vaccination clinics are by appointment only.

For COVID-19 vaccine, see COVID-19 clinic locations. Mpox vaccine is only available at Public Health vaccination clinics.

You can get most publicly funded (free) vaccines from your health care provider. If you don't have one, see a list of doctors accepting new patients. Learn more about publicly funded immunization schedules by age:

    • Stay home if you're sick. Postpone your appointment if at least one of the following applies to you:
      • In the past 24 hours, you experienced COVID-19 symptoms, not due to previously known chronic conditions diagnosed by a health care professional
      • In the past five days, someone who lives in your household had symptoms of COVID-19 or tested positive for COVID-19. In this scenario you can still come to your appointment if you don’t currently have any symptoms AND you have either:
        • Been positive for COVID-19 in the past 90 days and have completed your isolation period
        • Tested negative on a rapid antigen on the same day as your appointment
    • Wear a loose fitting short sleeve t-shirt

    • Masks must be worn before entering clinic
    • Upon entering, you will be asked to complete COVID-19 screening questions
    • After passing the COVID-19 screen, a staff member will provide direction to the clinic area

    After your appointment

    • After receiving vaccine(s), there will be a 15-minute waiting period

Other options for vaccination

Some vaccines are only available by paying a fee, such as those needed for post-secondary education, work or travel. You can get these vaccines from:

  • Health care providers
  • Walk-in clinics
  • Participating pharmacies (with a prescription as required)
  • Travel clinics

If you are planning a trip, consider your risk:

  • Vaccine coverage for many diseases has dropped worldwide
  • COVID-19 continues to circulate in Canada and internationally
  • There is a global measles notice for all countries
  • There is a polio notice and Mpox notice for several countries, including the United States

Visit a health care professional or a travel health clinic at least six weeks before you travel to:

  • Review your vaccination history
  • Assess your health care needs

If you are looking for a specific vaccine(s), call ahead to see if it's available. If you plan to visit a pharmacy to get vaccinated, find out if you need a prescription.
