Immunization Navigator
Helping navigate Ontario's routine immunization catch-up schedule.

- Ontario Ministry of Health, Guidance for Routine and Catch-Up Immunization Services, version 5, January 23, 2024.
Targeted Ontario updates
- Ontario Ministry of Health, Recommendations for Children Previously Immunized with Oral Polio Vaccine: Questions and Answers for Immunizers, April 2024.
- Ontario Ministry of Health pediatric and adult pneumococcal program guidance, 2025.
- Ontario Ministry of Health, Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prevention Programs, 2025 to 2026 season.

- Public Health Ontario, Hepatitis B Vaccines and Schedules: Frequently Asked Questions, August 2022.

Toronto-specific guidance

- Toronto recommendations are applied only when the output is clearly identified as Toronto-specific.
Supplementary national guidance
The Canadian Immunization Guide is used only where Ontario incorporates it, refers to it, or does not fully define a clinical detail such as dose validity or a minimum interval. It does not replace Ontario policy or determine Ontario public funding.
What this tool does not do: It does not assess eligibility for vaccines offered to people with specific medical conditions or other higher-risk factors. Only routine vaccines and schedules available to the general population are included.
For high-risk eligibility or recommendations outside Ontario's routine schedule, check with your local public health unit or healthcare provider.
This tool is meant to support clinical judgment, not replace it.
Under Ontario Ministry of Health guidance, Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) given on or after April 1, 2016 is assumed to be bivalent. It does not protect against poliovirus type 2 and should not be counted as a valid dose. OPV given before April 1, 2016 is assumed to be trivalent and may be counted.
Other vaccines given outside Canada, especially unfamiliar products, should be confirmed as equivalent to an Ontario vaccine before being entered.
