To increase routine childhood immunization coverage, Ottawa Public Health is holding immunization clinics in select elementary schools this winter and early spring. Clinics will offer routine childhood vaccinations including the three vaccines typically given in grade 7 at school (human papillomavirus, hepatitis B and meningococcal), along with COVID-19 vaccines. To learn more about what vaccines your child may need, please visit our website at: ParentingInOttawa.ca/Immunization. Clinics will be open to children and youth up to 18 years of age. Those attending the schools as well as children and youth in the surrounding community can attend. Parents and guardians can also accompany their children at the school clinic. No appointment is required. Routine childhood vaccinations will continue to be offered through the Ottawa Public Health Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs and through Community Immunization Clinics located across the city as well. Additional information including clinic locations, dates, times and eligibility is available on the Ottawa Public Health Parenting in Ottawa website.
