Public Health will be offering drive thru immunization clinics for students eligible to
receive their school program vaccinations. This includes students who missed their
follow up vaccines during the 2019/2020 school year and those eligible in 2020/2021 to
start their immunization series.

Clinics will be offered at the Medical Centre at the Boardwalk, located at 435 The
Boardwalk, Waterloo starting in October. Options will be made available for those unable
to attend the drive thru clinics. Details will be provided to you when you receive your
phone call to book an appointment.

The immunization clinics will be offered first to the Grade 7 and 8 students from
2019/2020 who did not complete their immunizations. School program immunizations for
the 2020/21 cohort of Grade 7 students will begin in early January 2021. Clinics will
extend through the summer months.

Parents/students will be contacted directly to book these appointments between October
and December. Please do not call the Public Health office to book your appointment.
School program vaccines are also available through local health care providers. Please
call your health care provider if you wish your child to receive their vaccine using this
route.

Parents/students are able to access immunization records and submit immunization
information via ICON. Details can be found on our website or by using the link:

or if students do not have a health card at 519-575-4400 ext.5001.

immunizations are also posted on our website
