COVID-19 and flu vaccine clinics

To help keep U of T healthy from seasonal respiratory viruses, community members seeking COVID-19 and/or flu vaccinations can book appointments or find walk-in hours at local clinics across the Greater Toronto Area. Below you will find up-to-date information on where and when you can get vaccinated, both on and off our campuses.

Worried about getting vaccinated? Feelings of fear or anxiety about vaccinations are very common, affecting an estimated 25 per cent of adults. Use the CARD system to have a more positive vaccination experience.

U of T’s vaccine requirement

The University is encouraging all members of its community to get a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they become eligible. New appointments are added daily to the provincial booking system and at local pharmacies.

At this time, you are considered to be fully vaccinated 14 days after receiving the recommended number of doses of a Health Canada-approved vaccine. If you received a non-Health Canada approved vaccine, you will be considered fully vaccinated 14 days after receiving a third vaccine to complete the primary vaccination requirements. The University will continue to monitor Ministry of Health and Public Health Agency of Canada guidance on additional doses. 

Although students who are not fully vaccinated may enrol in classes with in-person components, vaccination requirements may be reinstated with little notice, which could result in de-enrolment.

The University will require students living in residence for the 2022-23 academic year to be vaccinated against COVID-19, including at least one booster dose. More information on this requirement can be found on the Vice-Provost Student’s website.
