- If you have vasculitis (giant cell arteritis/ANCA vasculitis/Wegener's/Takayasu) or severe lupus (with vasculitis/heart/lung problems associated with lupus), please contact your Rheumatologist for recommendations before getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
- If you are on a Rituximab (or Ruxience), Cyclophosphamide, Abatacept (Orencia),or a Jak inhibitor (Rinvoq, Xeljanz), please contact your Rheumatologist for recommendations before getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

1st Dose
Find a local clinic or pharmacy near you, or consult with your health care provider
2nd Dose
In the Algoma region, eligibility is based on when you received your first dose. You are eligible to receive your next dose 28 days after you have received your first dose.
3rd Dose
3rd doses will be provided for individuals who meet eligibility criteria and are able to produce the appropriate documentation (i.e., letter from their healthcare provider or specialist with necessary information or a copy of their prescription
This includes:
- Transplant recipients (including solid organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplants);
- Patients with hematological cancers (examples include lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia) on active treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy);
- Recipients of an anti-CD20 agent (e.g. rituximab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab); and
- Residents of high-risk congregate settings including long-term care homes, higher-risk licensed retirement homes and First Nations elder care lodges.
Eligibility is based on when you received your first dose.
You are eligible to book your appointment 28 days after receiving your first dose. Please consult your healthcare provider with questions regarding 3rd dose eligibility.
A complete two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series provides strong protection against COVID-19 infection and severe outcomes, including against the Delta variant, in the general population. However, for some populations, a third dose may be required to provide sufficient protection based on a suboptimal or waning immune response to vaccines and increased risk of COVID-19 infection.
Based on the recommendation of the Chief Medical Officer of Health and health experts, the province of Ontario is offering third doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to select vulnerable populations:
- Transplant recipients (including solid organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplants)
- Patients with hematological cancers (examples include lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia) on active treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy) for malignant hematologic disorders
- Recipients of an anti-CD20 agent (e.g. rituximab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab)
- Residents of high-risk congregate settings including long-term care homes, higher-risk licensed retirement homes and First Nations elder care lodges
You can get your next dose of the COVID-19 vaccine 28 days after receiving your first dose. You will then be eligible at any pharmacy, clinic, or health care provider. Please consult your healthcare provider for questions regarding 3rd dose eligibility.
If you were vaccinated outside Ontario
If you are a resident of Ontario and received a dose or complete series of the COVID-19 vaccine out of Province or Canada, the province of Ontario requires you to report this information to your local Public Health Unit, to assist with either completing your vaccination series and/or validating your vaccination record in the Provincial COVID-19 reporting system (COVAXon).
Please fill out our online form
Our support staff will contact you directly to verify.
Due to the high volume of requests submissions to Algoma Public Health can take up to 10-14 business days.
An Ontario Health Card is not required to submit proof of “out of province” doses. Persons with valid Ontario Health card will be able to access covid19.ontariohealth.ca to download proof of vaccination following their vaccine submission and approval.
You can view and print your own vaccine receipts on demand at: https://covid19.ontariohealth.ca/
Receipts are available:
- for first and second doses received in Ontario (once you get them)
- regardless of where you were vaccinated (for example, at a mass immunization clinic, hospital, pharmacy or primary care setting)
