Immunization clinics for newcomers
As a newcomer to Canada, you can protect yourself and your children by keeping your immunizations up-to-date and reporting them to the Region of Peel.
If your child is an international student or has an Interim Federal Health (IFH) number, take your child to your family doctor or a walk-in clinic for an immunization.
- Immunizations for a child with an IFH number are free.
- Immunizations for international students who are registering for or attending school on a student visa may be available at cost or be covered by a private health insurance plan.
