NEW - Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON) Tool

We are currently updating the immunization records, of children born between 2000 and 2014, with new information received from parents/guardians. New immunization information received for children born between 2015 and 2018 will be updated soon. Please continue to send your updates, you will be notified once we have updated your child’s record.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please note that this service will be unavailable on April 23rd from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on April 27th from 5:00 PM to April 29th at 5:00 PM for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience. For information on alternative ways to update your child's immunization record during this time, please see "Updating your child's record" and "Other ways to update a child's immunization record".

You can now update, view and/or print your child's immunization record through the new Immunization Connect (ICON) portal.  ICON is a new secure online tool for submitting updates and viewing your child's immunization information on file at Ottawa Public Health (OPH).

With ICON you can view your child's record and be informed of which immunizations your child needs or will need in the near future. You can print a copy or access the information anytime.

In order to access your child's immunization information using ICON, you will need to create an account and set a PIN. To do this, you will need the following information:

  • Your child's Ontario Photo Health Card - Your child's Health Card Number must be on file with Ottawa Public Health
  • If your child does not have an Ontario Photo Health Card, you can create an account using your child's Ontario Immunization ID (OIID) - If you do not have your child's OIID, you can call OPH to obtain your child's OIID, and get assistance in setting your PIN.

If you are not able to set your PIN, you can call OPH at 613-580-6744 for help creating your account.

    • When submitting updates, please provide a phone number and/or email address where we can send you an automated message to inform you if the record is up to date or if we require more information.

Requesting a copy of child's immunization record:

It is possible that your child has received additional immunizations.  Please submit any missing immunization information to OPH to ensure your child's record is up to date.

If your child attends a primary or high school in Ottawa, you do not need to provide the school with a copy of your child's immunization record however, you must provide a copy of your child's immunization record to Ottawa Public Health.
