Infants & adolescents receive this vaccine as part of their primary immunization. Adolescents and adults are often the source of pertussis infection for infants and young children, so we strongly recommend that you ensure you have up-to-date vaccinations. Td is updated every 10 years, therefore students will require a booster between 24-26 years old. Book an appointment if you need a booster.

Anyone vaccinated before 1991 should get a booster dose since they may have lost immunity. Costs of the vaccine are covered. Faculty or staff can book an appointment through the Employee & Family Health Clinic

MMR is an adolescent primary vaccination. To confer immunity two doses of the MMR vaccine (if born after 1970) are needed, and this is particularly important for students in healthcare disciplines and post-secondary institutions. There have been several outbreaks of measles and mumps in Canada with the majority of cases reported among young adults.

If you’re uncertain about your vaccination status and whether you have two doses, check with your healthcare provider or your local public health unit.

• Students from outside of Ontario are at greatest need for confirming receipt of two doses of a measles containing vaccine to ensure optimal immunity.

Members of the Employee & Family Health Clinic can visit their physician for the vaccination or testing. Costs are covered under OHIP & UHIP.

Hepatitis B is a virus spread through contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person. All university and college students should have a full series of Hepatitis B immunizations. In Ontario, you should have received this vaccine in Grade Seven or as part of your early infant vaccines. Students from other provinces and countries may have received this vaccine at birth. If you have never received this vaccine or have not completed a full series, you should arrange to do so (and you may want to consider the Hep B/Hep A combination). The Hepatitis B vaccine is not publicly funded, unless individuals meet specific high-risk eligibility.

The HPV vaccine is recommended for individuals ages 9-26 to protect against the virus that can cause cancer of the cervix, penis or anus, genital warts, and oropharyngeal cancers. Three doses of the vaccine are required. Routine cancer screening should continue according to your health care provider’s recommendations.

Evidence indicates that people with any of the previous mentioned conditions should get vaccinated to protect them from other strains of HPV.

All university and college students who have not had chickenpox disease as a child, should receive this vaccine. Some may have been vaccinated as part of their 2nd MMR dose (MMRV). Adults who become infected with chickenpox are at higher risk of serious side effects from this disease.

There are several different types of meningococcal bacteria. The most common types in Canada are B, C, Y and W-135, and newer vaccines cover 5 different strains. Meningitis diseases are rare but serious and can result in death or permanent disability. Living in close quarters with others, such as in student housing, can increase the risk of transmission of this disease.

This vaccine may be recommended for students who are travelling to certain destinations. This vaccine is funded for men who have sex with men, IV drug users, transgender persons, and people with chronic liver disease.

The vaccine can be given together with a Hepatitis B vaccine (where not previously vaccinated) to provide protection from both infections. The Hepatitis A vaccine is not publicly funded, unless individuals meet specific high-risk eligibility.
