Get Vaccinated

Getting vaccinated and staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines is the best way to protect yourself, your loved ones and our communities from severe outcomes from COVID-19 and its variants.

COVID-19 vaccines are available to everybody aged six months and older in Ontario at no cost, regardless of citizenship or immigration status, even if you do not have an Ontario health card.

To date, four products are approved by Health Canada:

• Pfizer-BioNTech 
• Moderna 
• Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) 
• Novavax

All vaccine options:

• are safe and available in Ontario
• can be safely mixed for individuals aged five and older
• provide strong protection against severe illness from COVID‑19 and its variants

If you do not have an Ontario health card, you may use another form of identification (photo identification is required if you are aged 18 or older) to verify your name and date of birth, such as:

• a driver’s licence or Ontario photo card
• a passport
• a piece of registered mail, pay stub, student card, library card
• government issued identification from other jurisdictions (including foreign and expired government documents)

We understand some people may be anxious about whether the COVID-19 vaccine is right for them. It is always best to speak to a health care professional about your concerns so you can decide together whether the vaccine is right for you.

If you are pregnant, you can get the COVID-19 vaccine at any time during pregnancy. Vaccines are safe and effective. They lower your chance of becoming very sick from COVID-19 and spreading the virus to others, including your baby.

The benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine outweighs any known or potential risks of vaccination during pregnancy. Pregnant and recently pregnant individuals are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people.
