COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Program

The COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Program allows for administration of COVID-19 vaccine by primary care, hospital, and long-term care/retirement home settings. For program registration information, including training and support resources please visit the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Program webpage.

Please note that all doses administered must be documented in the provincial COVAXon database. Vaccine inventory balances will continue to be monitored through weekly hand count surveys.

COVID-19 Vaccine Information

Ontario’s COVID-19 program has transitioned to an annual program. In the fall of 2025, all individuals 6 months of age and older who live, work, or study in Ontario are eligible to receive one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Some individuals may also be indicated to have a second dose (children 6 months to 4 years of age and those with certain conditions). Specific populations may be able to receive a subsequent vaccine dose in the spring of 2026.

For the most current information regarding COVID-19 vaccines, including who is eligible and recommended to receive vaccines and which vaccines are available, including guidance, product information and vaccine storage and handling, please see the following:
