Grade 7 to 12 Vaccines (updated March 22, 2023):

The Region of Waterloo is offering catch-up immunization clinics for students in grade 7-12. Public health will be visiting secondary schools in the region to offer publicly funded Meningococcal (Men-ACYW-135), Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap) and COVID-19 vaccines. If your child is in primary school (grade 7-8) and requires these vaccines they will need to attend a public health clinic.

Please note: Hep B and HPV will not be offered at school catch-up clinics. Due to Hepatitis B vaccine shortage, our clinic will not be able to offer publicly funded Hepatitis B vaccine at this time and unfortunately, we do not have an anticipated availability date. 

If you would like Hep B and/or HPV in addition to the above vaccines or you have a child in primary school who needs updated vaccines, you can book an appointment at one of the public health clinics by CLICKING HERE. 

Health Cards are Important:

The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover appointments with your doctor if your health card is invalid or expired. If you have recently updated your health card, please let us know by completing this form.

As of January 1st, 2023 we will be initiating a $40.00 fee for patients who present to their doctor appointment with an invalid/expired health card. If you currently have an expired health card, please ensure you renew it. CLICK HERE for information on how to renew your health card.

Winter Weather Reminder:

New Vision is committed to protecting the health and safety of all our team members and patients. There may be times that the clinic will have an unexpected closure due to adverse weather.

Masking:

If you are attending an appointment at New Vision, we strongly recommend wearing a well-fitted, high-quality mask, as COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses (such as the flu) continue to spread. Masking continues to be an important layer of protection to keep you, and the people around you, safe.
