    COVID-19 vaccines

    About the COVID-19 vaccine and where to get the vaccine

    Updated COVID-19 vaccine

    COVID-19 vaccines are now available for high-priority populations and will be available to the general population beginning October 27, 2025

    COVID-19 vaccines are available to anyone 6 months or older in Ontario for free, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. They provide greater protection against the currently circulating LP.8.1 subvariants. The COVID-19 and flu vaccine can be given at the same time. It’s encouraged to receive both vaccines. You do not need an Ontario health card to get the vaccine.

    You can receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it has been 3 months since your last dose or confirmed COVID-19 infection.

    Novavax

    The protein subunit vaccine (Novavax) will not be available in Ontario for the 2025-26 COVID-19 vaccination program.

    Individuals who are unable to receive an mRNA vaccine should speak with their health care provider about treatment options, including the use of Paxlovid, to reduce the duration and severity of illness.

    For more information go to Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine website.

    Where to get your COVID-19 vaccine

    Contact any of the following locations for vaccine availability.

    Peel Public Health clinics

    Peel Public Health offers COVID-19 and flu vaccine clinics for infants and children 6 months to 4 years. Information about booking appointments will be available soon.

    Primary care providers

    Contact your family doctor, nurse practitioner or a walk-in clinic directly to see if they offer the COVID-19 vaccine to adults, children, and infants.

    Participating pharmacies

    Contact your local pharmacy directly to see if they offer COVID-19 vaccines to adults, children, and infants. Find a pharmacy location

    An Ontario health card is not needed to get your vaccines at a pharmacy, community health centre or Peel Public Health clinic.

    Homebound vaccination program

    This program is no longer being offered by Peel Public Health. If you are affected by this change, you can find options for your next COVID-19 vaccine or flu vaccine.

    If you live in Peel and received a COVID-19 vaccine outside of Ontario, Peel Public Health will process records if you are reporting:

    • For a child 6 months to 4 years, or
    • A COVID-19 vaccine dose received within the last 6 months.

    If you meet the reporting requirements, submit your out of province vaccination report to Peel Public Health.

    COVID-19 doses outside of these categories will not be processed. Your original vaccine certificate can be used as proof of a COVID-19 dose if it’s requested by your employer, school, health care provider, or pharmacist.

    When submitting your Out of Province Vaccination Report, you'll need to provide:

    • Current address in Peel (Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon).
    • Phone number and email.
    • Current proof of vaccination certificate with a QR code.

    Peel Public Health only accepts Out of Province Vaccination Reports from individuals who live in Peel. Individuals who do not live in Peel should contact their local public health unit to have their doses documented. Find your local public health unit.

    Processing time following submission can be up to 14 business days, provided all the required documentation has been submitted. You will receive email updates and additional information may be requested, as needed. Once your Out of Province Vaccination Report has been processed, you will receive an email from the Ministry of Health with a link to your Ontario Proof of Vaccination Certificate.
