Immunization Clinics
Ottawa Public Health staff helping to increase immunity in our community
With the support of our exceptional casual staff of registered nurses, registered practical nurses and reception staff, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) provides almost 450 immunization clinics in each corner of our community. Clinics are currently provided in two formats allowing OPH to quickly respond to meet our community’s changing disease prevention needs.
School-immunization clinics
In partnership with our four local school boards, independent schools and the Ontario Ministry of Health, Ottawa Public Health provides school-based clinics in over 90 schools in Ottawa. Students (with signed consents) are able to obtain these important vaccines during school hours saving parents, teachers and students valuable time. Clinic schedule
