You can get your immunization records one of three ways:

  1. You can ask your caregivers if they have a copy of your “yellow card”.  Many caregivers were given this immunization card when you were a baby and brought it to appointments to have completed by the doctor after an immunization was given for their personal records.
  2. You can check with the Public Health Department in the area where you grew up.  Many times they will have documentation of immunizations you received through your family doctor, community, and school programs.  If you moved around during your childhood, you may need to contact each of the Public Health Departments in the areas that you resided to see if they have anything on record.
  3. You can try contacting your childhood doctor’s office directly to see if they still have your immunization records on file.

If you have a valid OHIP card or purchased insurance (e.g., Sun Life or guard.me) there is no cost to you to have a routine appointments with a physician or nurse practitioner.  Note: If you have forms that need to be completed or you require certain specialty services, these may involve a fee. If this is the case, you will be advised in advance before receiving these services.

Yes.  If you have a valid provincial health card or International Insurance, you may book an appointment with one of our clinicians and the various services we offer.

There is a $30.00 fee for missed appointment with our physicians, and a $100.00 fee for missed appointments with our specialists.  If you are unable to keep your appointment time, please be sure to cancel your appointment 24 hours prior to avoid incurring such a fee.

Annual TB testing requirements can be done through Student Health Services and is a multi-step process.  Firstly, you would book a telephone appointment with one of our clinicians to review your medical history, reason for testing, and to obtain consent for having the test done.  Secondly, you will need to book an appointment with one of our nurses to come into Harrison Hall to have the test administered.  And lastly, you will need to book an appointment 48 to 72 hours later to come into Harrison Hall to have the test read.  If you require a 2 Step TB Skin Test, you will have to repeat steps 2 and 3 one to four weeks after receiving your initial test.
