Who can get vaccinated
Getting vaccinated and staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations is the best way to remain protected against the most severe outcomes of COVID-19 infection including hospitalization and death.
Vaccination may not always prevent symptomatic infection but it will help reduce severity if a person does become infected and decreases the risk of developing post COVID-19 condition (commonly known as long COVID).

+Frequently asked questions about COVID-19 vaccines
+Facts about... COVID-19 vaccines
+Ontario Ministry of Health - COVID-19 Vaccine Program
+Children six-months to under five-years old
+Why should I get my child vaccinated? They don’t get as sick from COVID-19.
+Not all children have only mild symptoms. Vaccination is the preferred and safest method to provide additional protection for all children, including those six months to under five-years old. Having children vaccinated also provides further protection to their family members, especially if they have family members who are at risk for more severe illness.
+Even if a child has already had COVID-19, vaccination is still important. While infection alone provides some protection, vaccination after infection helps further improve the immune response.
+Have long-term side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine for children been determined?
+COVID-19 vaccines, like all medicines can cause side effects, although not everyone may experience them. The most frequently reported short-term side effects for children following the COVID-19 vaccine include redness and pain at injection site, fatigue, headache, chills, muscle aches and loss of appetite. These side effects are typically mild to moderate and on average did not last longer than three days.
+My child is afraid of needles. How can I help them?
+We know it’s normal for kids to be anxious about getting needles. Here are some tips:
+Before the appointment:
+Talk about what to expect (explain that the needle might feel like a pinch that only lasts a few seconds).
+Explain why the vaccine is important (to them, to their family, to school mates, etc.).
+Talk to them about what might work best for them. Is it a favourite stuffy? Do they need to listen to music or play a game on your phone/table to help keep them distracted?
+During the appointment:
+Stay calm yourself! Children see and feel what their parents are doing. Speak in a positive, normal voice to help calm your child. Demonstrate a calm optimistic presence. Take slow breaths before, during and after the needle together.
+If your child is small enough, you can hold them on your lap while they get their vaccine.
+Practice deep breathing exercises together. For example - try square breathing. Picture a square. Each inhale lasts four seconds and is one side of the square, moving clockwise and alternating.
+If using distraction, choose a distraction that involves multiple senses (sight, hearing and touch).
+The Health Department also encourages you to look at
+the CARD system
+to help your children through the vaccine process. Comfort Ask Relax and Distract. Get more information from the Government of Ontario's resource
+Nervous About Getting Needles?
+Immunizers at our clinics are familiar with the CARD system.
+What if my child has allergies?
+Children with severe food, insect bite and medication allergies should receive the COVID-19 vaccine and will be monitored for a longer period at the clinic after getting their vaccine.
+COVID-19 vaccines do not contain preservatives, antibiotics, adjuvants, common food allergens, human materials, and animal derived materials.
+If your child has had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine or medical product, please speak with your child’s health care provider prior to getting the vaccine. The vaccine is not recommended for your child if they have had a known allergic reaction to a previous dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or a vaccine ingredient.
+Children five to 11-years old
+Learn more about COVID-19 vaccination for children
+Walk through one of our children’s clinics with a public health nurse
+Colton shares why he is happy to get the COVID-19 vaccine
+Hear how these three sisters feel about getting the COVID-19 vaccine
+What options are available to help decrease my child’s pain and/or fear of needles?
+Up to two thirds of children experience some type of fear of needles. Some tips for parents and caregivers to help reduce pain and fear of needles include:
+Preparing your child before the appointment.
+Use of topical anesthetics prior to vaccination (discuss application with your child’s pharmacist or health care provider).
+Your presence as a parent or caregiver to offer support during vaccination.
+Letting your child sit on your lap if possible.
+Distraction such as toy, singing, special object, counting or electronic device.
+Being honest. For example., Instead of saying, "the needle won’t hurt", you could say, "some people feel pressure or a pinch".
+Encouraging your child to relax their arm and be still
+Remaining calm and positive
+Please speak to your child’s health care provider if you have questions or concerns about pain management and needle fear.
+When should I call a health care provider if my child is feeling unwell after their vaccine?
+If your child has a high fever (over 40°C or 104°F) or side effects that are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few days, contact your child’s health care provider or seek medical attention.
+Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911 if they have serious drowsiness, seizures/convulsions, hives, swelling of the face, throat or mouth, trouble breathing or other serious symptoms.
+Seek medical attention if your child develops any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine: chest pain, shortness of breath and/or palpitations (pounding or racing heart) or feeling of a rapid or abnormal heart rhythm. These may be symptoms of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the sac of the heart), which is very rare and treatable.
+General COVID-19 vaccine information
+Is Novavax Nuvaxovid® COVID-19 vaccine available for eligible adults?
+Novavax (non-mRNA) vaccine is not currently available in Ontario. Speak with your health care provider if you are unable to receive an mRNA vaccine.
+Are there any side effects?
+Some people may experience side effects from the vaccine, but these will likely be mild and resolve after a few days. Some of the symptoms are part of the body's response to developing immunity.
+Common side effects reported in clinical trials for these vaccines include:
+Pain, tenderness, itchiness, redness or swelling at the injection site
+Headache
+Tiredness or feeling unwell
+Muscle or joint pain
+Fever or chills
+Nausea
+Swelling or tenderness under the armpit (Moderna only)
+Vomiting or diarrhea
+In rare cases, serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you have trouble breathing, have hives, or swelling of the face and throat.
+Rare cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and/or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart)
+have been reported following vaccination with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
+If you have a reaction to the vaccine, contact your health care provider who will report the side effect directly to the health department. The health department will keep track of the reported side effects to make sure the vaccine continues to be safe.
+Can COVID-19 vaccines be mixed?
+mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna)
+Yes, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends that regardless of which product is offered to start a primary series, the series can be safely completed with another mRNA vaccine.
+Vaccine interchangeability can apply to XBB containing COVID-19 vaccines if used to complete a vaccine series started with a different formulation (either original monovalent or bivalent vaccine).
+Mixing COVID-19 vaccines is safe, effective, and enables Ontarians to benefit from the protection of a booster dose.
+Novavax Nuvaxovid®
+Individuals may receive mixed doses of Novavax Nuvaxovid® and mRNA vaccines. If receiving a mixed primary series or additional booster doses with the Novavax vaccine, informed consent should include a discussion of the benefits and potential risks given the currently limited data on the effectiveness and safety of mixed schedules with the Novavax vaccine.
+Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum or fetal cells?
+No. The COVID-19 vaccines do not contain mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum or fetal cells.
+Are the COVID-19 vaccines halal?
+Yes, the two mRNA vaccines Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are halal, they do not contain gelatin or pork products.
+Are the mRNA vaccines vegan?
+Yes, the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are vegan. The lipids and cholesterol are plant-based or synthetic. There are no: pork-derived materials, blood fractions or fetal cell products.
+Medical and safety information
+Can I get a a dose of the vaccine if I was diagnosed with myocarditis/pericarditis after a COVID-19 vaccine?
+In most circumstances, further doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines should be deferred for people who experienced myocarditis (with or without pericarditis) within six weeks of receiving a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
+Individuals with a history of pericarditis and who either had no cardiac investigation or normal cardiac investigations, can receive the next dose once they are symptom free and at least 90 days has passed since vaccination.
+The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI), Public Health Ontario (PHO), and the Ontario Ministry of Health (MOH) are following this closely and will update this recommendation as more evidence becomes available.
+Can I get the vaccine if I am immunocompromised?
+Since all Health Canada authorized COVID-19 vaccines are not live vaccines, they are considered safe in autoimmune conditions and immunocompromised persons (due to disease or treatment), however there is limited data on efficacy.
+Individuals who were immunocompromised due to disease or treatment were excluded from some of the Phase III trials for COVID-19 vaccines available at present and those with autoimmune conditions had very small representation.

+is recommended for moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals with the aim of enhancing the immune response and establishing an adequate level of protection.
+Third doses and booster doses strengthen the protection of those who may have a weaker immune response after two doses and are at higher risk of serious complications from COVID-19.
+Some immunocompromised individuals may be
+eligible
+for additional dose(s) following a discussion with your health care provider.
+For more information, visit three-dose primary series and boosters for individuals who are immunocompromised.
+Can I get the vaccine if I am pregnant and/or breastfeeding?
+Although pregnant and breastfeeding people were not a part of clinical trials for any of the vaccines, real world evidence shows that mRNA vaccines (Moderna or Pfizer) are safe for this population. A review following vaccination of over 35,000 pregnant women in the United States demonstrated that these women developed strong immunity without safety issues.
+The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) strongly recommends that pregnant or breastfeeding individuals receive a complete mRNA vaccine series.
+See the
+COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy website
+for more information about vaccination during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
+There is no need to avoid pregnancy following vaccination with mRNA vaccines.
+The
+Scarborough Health Network’s VaxFacts Clinic
+, in partnership with Scarborough Health Network’s VaxFacts, is available to support people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to conceive. Book a 1:1 appointment to discuss your questions or concerns related to the COVID-19 vaccine.
+COVID-19 Vaccination in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Clinical Support Tool
+Can I get vaccinated if I have had previous allergic reactions?
+If you have a history of significant allergic reactions and/or anaphylaxis to any food, drug, venom, latex, or other allergens not related to mRNA vaccines, you can be vaccinated with and will be asked to wait 30 minutes for observation after you receive your vaccine.
+If you have allergy issues such as allergic rhinitis, asthma or eczema, you can be vaccinated, and will be asked to wait 15 to 30 minutes after your vaccine for observation.
+If you have had an allergic reaction and/or anaphylaxis that occurred after a vaccine, an investigation will need to be done by your local health department. If you have a history of a reaction to a vaccine outside of the normal side effects, please
+phone the Durham Health Connection Line
+to have them initiate an investigation.
+If you have had an allergic reaction including anaphylaxis to a component of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, you should not receive any COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in a general vaccine clinic. Please contact your health care provider to assess your need to receive a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in a controlled setting.
+If you experienced an allergic reaction including anaphylaxis following a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, an investigation will need to be completed by your local health department. Please phone the
+phone the Durham Health Connection Line
+to have them initiate an investigation.
+If a person develops an adverse reaction to a vaccine, what should they do?
+Seek medical attention if you have trouble breathing, develop hives, or develop swelling of the face and throat. As with all vaccines, vaccine side effects will continue to be monitored as people receive the vaccine.
+If you develop a reaction to the vaccine, contact your health care provider. Please
+phone the Durham Health Connection Line
+to have them initiate an investigation. Public health will keep track of the reported side effects to make sure the vaccine continues to be safe.
+Vaccine approval and clinical trial (testing) information
+How was Health Canada able to approve the COVID-19 vaccine so quickly?
+Creating a new vaccine can take years. The COVID-19 vaccine happened so quickly for many reasons including:
+advances in science and technology,
+international collaboration among scientists, health professionals, researchers, industry and governments; and
+increased funding to find a vaccine.
+Health Canada developed a fast-track review process to assess COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccine manufacturers were able to submit research and new evidence for review by Health Canada as it becomes available and throughout clinic trials. Previously, all clinical trials had to be completed prior to applying for Health Canada approval. Health Canada has implemented greater scientific resources, so reviews are completed in a timely manner without compromising any standards for vaccine use in Canada.
+Vaccines are only approved once evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, of good quality and that the benefits outweigh any risks.
+Check out this video for more information about how the COVID-19 vaccine was developed.
+To learn more about COVID-19 vaccine and the approval process,
+visit Health Canada's website

+Where can I get more information?

Both vaccines are mRNA vaccines that protect against the KP.2 omicron COVID-19 variant. Getting the most recently updated COVID-19 vaccine provides the best protection against the viral strains that are currently circulating in the community.
Is Novavax Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine available in Ontario?
The Novavax Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine is not available in Ontario for the 2024/2025 season. Individuals who are unable to receive a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine can speak with their health care provider about treatment options, including the use of Paxlovid, to reduce the duration and severity of illness.
-Vaccine Side Effects
-What are the potential side effects of the vaccine?
-After being vaccinated, it's common to have mild side effects. This is the body's natural response, as it's working hard to build immunity against the disease. This is known as the inflammatory response or reaction.
-Learn more about COVID-19 vaccine safety and side effects
-If you have questions about possible side effects, reach out your health care provider (doctor, nurse or pharmacist).
-In rare cases, serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) can occur. Allergic reactions can be treated and are usually temporary. Seek medical attention if you have trouble breathing, have hives or swelling of the face and throat.
-Vaccine side effects will continue to be monitored as people receive the vaccine. If you get a reaction to the vaccine, contact your health care provider who will report the side effect directly to public health. Public health will keep track of the reported side effects. See below for reporting side effects.
-Could the vaccine side effects be worse than getting COVID-19?
-As with all vaccines, there’s a very small chance that there will be a serious side effect. However, the benefits of vaccination outweigh their risks. It is more likely to have a serious outcome as a result of getting COVID-19 than from getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
-Where can I find information on the long-term effects of the vaccine?
-As part of the vaccine safety program in Canada, ongoing
-monitoring of the COVID-19 vaccines
-will continue. Very careful tracking of side effects for those who are vaccinated is carried out at local, provincial and national levels. There is also longer-term follow-up of clinical trial participants. Health Canada posts weekly reports on vaccine safety.
-Do mRNA vaccines cause pericarditis and/or myocarditis?
-Rare cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) in Canada and internationally
-Learn more about COVID-19 vaccine safety and side effects: Myocarditis and pericarditis
-The benefits of COVID-19 vaccines continue to outweigh their potential risks, as scientific evidence shows that they reduce deaths and hospitalizations due to COVID-19. The Government of Canada encourages people to get vaccinated and to complete their recommended vaccine series as soon as they are eligible.
-Video: Watch Dr. Ainsworth (Hamilton Health Sciences) speak about myocarditis and vaccines
-Can I get the COVID-19 virus from the vaccine?
-The vaccines will not give you a COVID-19 infection.
-None of the approved vaccines contains a live version of the COVID-19 virus. Instead all the vaccines either deliver, or cause our bodies to make, harmless spike proteins only found on the surface of the COVID-19 virus and teaches your body how to spot and respond to this protein so when the real virus comes along, the body can fight it off.
-How do I report an adverse reaction to the vaccine?
-Severe reactions are uncommon but if you need immediate medical assistance, call 911.
-View our fact sheet for a list of common, expected side effects and uncommon side effects that may need to be reported as adverse reactions
-Discuss any of the uncommon reactions with your family doctor. If you don’t have a family doctor, a walk-in clinic might be preferred. A doctor can diagnose these uncommon reactions and report them to public health. If you do not have access to a doctor, please call Hamilton Public Health Services Vaccine program at

-to report symptoms.
When can I get my next dose if I’ve already been vaccinated?
Previously vaccinated individuals aged 6 months and older who have completed their primary series are recommended to receive a dose if it has been at least 6 months since their last dose. The minimum interval between COVID-19 vaccine doses (after a primary series has been completed) is 3 months.

-COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic at Evinrude Centre to End on August 19
-Written by
-Comms Team
-, August 16, 2021
-Walk-in Clinics to Continue at Locations Throughout
-Peterborough City and County into September
-The final COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Evinrude Centre/Healthy Planet Arena will take place this Thursday, August 19 as Peterborough Public Health (PPH) transitions to a roving “pop-up” vaccine clinic model with locations throughout the region.
-Walk-in “pop-up” clinics are planned throughout Peterborough City and County during August and September to make it easier for residents to access a vaccine. This transition also marks the end of local use of the provincial booking system as all future clinics will be walk-in only, no appointment required.
-During the last week of clinics at the Evinrude Centre/Healthy Planet Arena from August 16-19, people can walk in Monday – Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. each day. On Thursday, August 19, the clinic will run from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. All residents over the age of 12 who require a first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine are eligible to walk-in to receive their vaccine.
-“The majority of recent cases locally and across Ontario are among residents who are unvaccinated, so we urge all eligible residents to get immunized,” said Donna Churipuy, Operations Lead for PPH’s COVID-19 Response. “The benefits of vaccines are proven to not only prevent infection but they also reduce the severity of illness in breakthrough cases of COVID-19.”
-In addition to the personal and community health benefits of getting vaccinated, each dose earns residents a chance to enter several contests to win great prizes. These include weekly draws for two $50 gift cards from the Downtown Business Improvement Association, and a chance to win one of 250 pairs of free tickets to see the Peterborough Petes through the “
-Get a Shot to Take a Shot
-” campaign.
-Walk-in and by-appointment vaccination clinics at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) will also wind down on August 19. Further details can be found

+is the most common cause of bronchiolitis, a common chest infection that affects infants and toddlers. Immunization is available to help prevent serious outcomes, such as hospitalization, caused by the virus.
+Infants and High-Risk Children RSV Immunization Program
+All babies born in 2024, and children up to 24 months who are at high risk of severe illness from
+RSV
+are eligible for immunization. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) specifically recommends that infants 8 months of age or less be immunized. Immunization of infants is the recommended approach to protect them from
+RSV, however, a vaccine for pregnant individuals is also available, based on discussion with a health care provider.
+More information about this program can be found on the
+Ministry webpage
+.
+The infant and high-risk children RSV program will begin in late October- early November 2024. Babies born in hospital will be offered RSV protection prior to leaving the hospital. Parents of any babies born in 2024 before the start of the RSV season should contact their health care provider. The Well Baby Clinic will be providing RSV immunization for older babies who do not have a health care provider.

+recipients of solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplants
+those experiencing homelessness
+those who identify as First Nations, Inuit, or MĂ©tis
+Adults aged 60 years and older who don’t qualify for the publicly funded program can still purchase the vaccine with a prescription from their family doctor or other primary care provider.

-In Ontario, COVID-19 vaccines are available to all individuals 6 months and older at no cost, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. You do not need an Ontario health card, but photo identification is required (for those aged 18 or older) to verify your name and date of birth.

Vaccinations will begin to be available once Ontario receives supply from Health Canada following their regulatory authorization of the updated vaccine formulation. It is estimated vaccines will begin to be available in October.

medical complications of pregnancy
maternal death
The benefits of getting vaccinated to prevent potential complications in pregnancy far outweigh the risks. The vaccine will protect you from COVID-19, and it will also reduce the risk of severe illness and complications related to COVID-19 in pregnancy. Studies suggest that after vaccination you will pass antibodies to your baby, which may keep them safe after birth.
-COVID-19 Vaccine Consult Service:
-SickKids and the VaxFacts Clinic at Scarborough Health Network (SHN) are available to answer questions about the COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant and breastfeeding people. Speak privately with a SickKids registered nurse for vaccine safety information. Follow-up is also offered with SHN for individual medical guidance.  The service is available in multiple languages.
