Booking an Appointment
Step 1: Learn about the COVID-19 Vaccines
Learn about the COVID-19 Vaccines. Then check if you need to consult a health care provider. You will need to consult a health care provider if you have severe allergies for a component of the vaccine. We recommend consulting a health care provider if you have any vaccine questions related to your medical history or your child’s medical history. If you do not have a health care provider, you can book a virtual appointment:
- Online at Health811 or by calling 811 (TTY: 1-866-797-0007).
- Online at VaxFacts Clinic or by calling 416-438-2911, ext. 5738
