💉 Immunization and Vaccines 🦠
Immunizations provide an important layer of protection, especially with recent outbreaks and re-emergence of diseases in the Greater Toronto Area. The Health & Counselling Centre provides immunization services to all current full and part-time University of Toronto students. Some vaccinations are offered for free, while others are available for a fee. Additionally, there may be a cost associated with support in completing immunization forms for work, school or volunteering.
To access immunization services, students will need to arrange an appointment with the HCC.
Students are asked to bring:
- T-Card 🪪
- Ontario Health Card (OHIP) or other Canadian provincial health card
- University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) (if applicable)
- It is also helpful to bring any records of previous vaccinations

For those that received immunizations in Ontario, you can reach out to your local Public Health department to access your records.
FLU SHOTS
Getting an annual flu shot is the most effective way to prevent influenza, reduce severe illness, and protect vulnerable people around you.
Public health authorities recommend it for everyone 6 months of age and older.
The flu shot is safe and generally well-tolerated, with mild and short-lived side effects, such as a sore arm or low-grade fever, which are far less severe than an actual flu infection.
