COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccination Update

Huron Perth Public Health will not be holding COVID-19 or influenza clinics this fall for the general public. To receive the COVID-19 or influenza vaccine, contact your local pharmacy or healthcare provider.
Influenza vaccine will be arriving at pharmacies and to primary care providers in early October, at which time, individuals identified as high risk will be eligible to receive the influenza vaccine.

The general population can expect to receive influenza and COVID-19 vaccines late October.  

In November, HPPH will be holding COVID-19 clinics for children (11 years and younger). Appointments will be required and can be made online starting mid-October at www.ontario.ca/book-vaccine.

Immunization Records and Requirements

Immunization is an effective way of preventing a variety of illnesses. It protects staff and children in your care and reduces the number of infectious disease outbreaks.

Under Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 137/15: General of the Child Care and Early Years Act, children attending licensed daycare are required to have specific immunizations. 

Childcare centres must collect a complete immunization history of each child, staff member and volunteer prior to admission or hire. You also need to: 

  • Ensure that copies of staff and volunteer immunization records are available to Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) when requested 
  • Forward all immunization updates to Huron Perth Public Health

If you work or volunteer in a licensed childcare centre, you are required to get the following vaccines: 

  • Tetanus 
  • Diphtheria 
  • Pertussis 
  • Measles 
  • Mumps 
  • Rubella 

You will need to provide your immunization information to the childcare centre when you are first hired. You are responsible for keeping immunization records up-to-date and reporting them to your employer.
