Immunization Records

Please note: Immunization records are not automatically updated from doctor’s offices. It is the responsibility of parents and caregivers to ensure their child’s records are kept current with the Health Unit.

Check - Your Immunization Record

Immunization records that have been reported to public health are available online through Immunization Connect Ontario portal.

Your immunization record is not available online if:

If you can’t find your immunization record online, contact the office where you received your vaccinations and ask for a record of what they gave you. If you have provided the Health Unit with a record in the past and aren’t able to find it online, contact us for a copy.
