Vaccination

See other services

an illustrate I icon representing info Learn about vaccines offered at all hubs: COVID-19, school-based vaccines and routine childhood vaccines

We offer a variety of vaccines and the opportunity to speak with a public health nurse:

COVID-19 and flu vaccine

  • COVID-19 vaccines are available for anyone six months of age and older. Please visit COVID-19 Vaccination for more details on eligibility and the COVID-19 spring booster dose.
  • Flu vaccines are not currently available at our hubs. Please contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744 for more information on when this service will resume.
  • All COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines may be given at the same time as, or at any time, before or after administration of other routine vaccines.

Routine and school-based vaccines for children and youth 

  • School-based vaccines: All of our hubs are offering vaccines that are normally given in grade 7 and 8, referred to as “school-based vaccines.” These vaccines include Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Hepatitis B and Meningococcal conjugate vaccines.   
  • Routine vaccines: All of our hubs are offering routine vaccines that are required for attending schools and daycares, including the school-based vaccines listed above. They will be available to children and youth aged two months to 17 years of age who do not have a primary care provider (such as a family doctor or nurse practitioner). This includes children and youth in the neighbourhood without an Ontario Health Card (OHIP). For the list of publicly funded vaccines visit the Government of Ontario website. 
  • All of our hubs are also offering routine vaccines to 18+ clients aged 18 and over who do not have a primary care provider, are newcomers or are without an Ontario Health Card (OHIP). Those individuals can also have their records assessed at a Hub. Please speak to a public health nurse to find out more.
  • All routine and school-based vaccines are available on a drop-in basis. If wait times are long, families will be offered appointments for a later time or date.  
  • Please bring any previous vaccination records to the clinic, and a piece of identification for the person(s) receiving the vaccine(s) or their Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card if available. An OHIP card is not required if you do not have one. 
  • Visit the Parenting in Ottawa website for more details on vaccines for children and youth.

NEW! Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) Kits
(while provincial supply allows)

See other services

an illustrate I icon representing info With the lower rates of COVID-19, high vaccination rates, and demand for rapid antigen test (RAT) kits consistently decreasing, the province will be winding down its RAT programs, which includes no longer distributing kits to retail locations like pharmacies and grocery stores, starting June 30, 2023.

After June 30, 2023, those at highest risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 including high-priority communities will continue to have access to free rapid tests through existing channels (e.g.,long-term care). RATs will also be available through other health system partners, for the upcoming respiratory season, and while provincial supplies last.

To support ongoing access to COVID-19 testing through the summer and the fall, in particular for people who may be eligible for COVID-19 treatment, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) will make rapid antigen test (RAT) kits available to Ottawa residents, free of charge, starting on July 4, 2023. Residents can access RAT kits through existing OPH services, like neighbourhood hubs and community vaccine clinics – local health partners and community agencies will be able to order provincial RAT kits through OPH, while provincial supplies last.
