Catch-up Clinics

Meningococcal-C-ACYW-135

Public Health Services has scheduled vaccine clinics in high schools to allow your child to catch-up on any missing routine vaccines. The following vaccines are available at these clinics:

  • Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis and Polio (Tdap-IPV)
  • Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis
  • Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR)
  • Meningitis (Men-C-ACYW135)
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV9) 
  • Hepatitis B (Hep B) 
  • Polio (IPV)

At the clinic, nurses will be able to look at your child’s immunization record and offer any vaccines that are overdue or may have been missed in Grade 7, that are required for your child to attend school, as per the Immunization of School Pupils Act (1991). 

Prior to the day of the clinic, please remember to look at your child’s vaccine record and make sure that all vaccines your child has received have been reported to Public Health. Any vaccines given by another health care provider, including your family doctor, do not automatically get reported to Public Health. To view and update your child’s vaccine record, visit hph.icon.ehealthontario.ca, or call 905-546-5250.

It is important that you talk to your child about their vaccinations prior to the day of the clinic and what vaccinations they need to get. High school students are able to consent independently the day of the clinic. Attendance at the clinic is voluntary. If you do not want your child to be vaccinated at the school, please instruct them not to attend the clinic.

Nurses from Hamilton Public Health Services will be visiting your child’s school to offer free vaccinations for students in grade 7 and 8. Public Health Nurses will also be visiting High Schools in January-March of 2023 to offer catch-up vaccinations for those that may have missed their Hepatitis B, HPV or Meningococcal vaccines in grade 7 and 8.

Are vaccines safe?

Vaccines go through years of testing before they become publicly available. Vaccines are carefully monitored from the time they are created to after the vaccine is given. It is safe to give multiple vaccines at one time and studies have shown there is no increase in side effects. It is worse to get the disease than the vaccine. If a vaccine in considered unsafe, the vaccine is then pulled from the market1.

What are the side effects of vaccines?

The most common side effects are tiredness, pain, redness and swelling where the vaccine was given2. Serious reactions to vaccines are very rare. When they do occur, they are reported to Public Health and tracked by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Are vaccines free?

The Hepatitis B vaccine is free of charge for all students up to grade 8. The HPV vaccine is free of charge for all students up to grade 12. If you decide to wait to vaccinate your child with HPV, the total cost of the vaccine is about $450. The vaccines are not free at your doctor’s office without a valid medical reason. This does not include anxiety over needles

What happens if my child is absent on the day the school is offering vaccines?

If you child is not able to attend school on the day that the nurses from Public Health are there to administer the vaccines, there are other options.  Public Health visits each school 2 times per school year; once in the Fall and once in the Spring.  If your child has missed the first day the vaccines were offered at their school, they can receive them the next time.  If your child misses all of the times the vaccines are offered, they can receive them from their Family Doctor, or visit one of our Public Health community clinics to get caught up.

How can I prepare my child?

  • Talk to your child about the vaccine(s)
  • Review helpful ways to deal with fear or anxiety (look away, listen to music, watch a video etc.)
  • Make sure your child eats on clinic day
  • Make sure your child wears a short sleeve shirt on clinic day

What if I decide not to vaccinate?

The Men-C-ACYW135 vaccine is required by law (Immunization of School Pupils Act, 1990). If your child does not receive the vaccine, and does not have a valid exemption, they could be suspended11. The Hepatitis B and HPV vaccines are not required by law (Immunization of School Pupils Act, 1990) but are highly recommended11.

Hepatitis B is given in two doses. Public health nurses give both doses in all grade 7 classes in Hamilton.

  • Check adverse events reported for Hepatitis B vaccine. An adverse event is any health problem that occurs after immunization that may or may not be related to the vaccine.

What is Hepatitis B?

  • Hepatitis B is one of the most common causes of liver cancer and it can lead to liver failure.

What are the symptoms?

  • People with Hepatitis B often become tired, have fever, lose their appetite, and sometimes get yellow skin and eyes (jaundice).
  • Some people can get the virus but don’t have any symptoms. This means they can infect someone else without knowing.

How can I get the disease?

  • This disease is spread through bodily fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal fluids5. The virus is mostly spread by sexual skin to skin contact.
  • The virus can also be spread:

    • by sharing razors, scissors, nail clippers or a toothbrush

    • by sharing drug items such as needles, straws and pipes

    • through dirty tools used for tattooing and body piercing

What is Meningococcal Disease?

  • Meningococcal disease is caused by bacteria (Neisseria meningitidis). It can become very serious, very quickly.
  • The two most severe and common illnesses caused by these bacteria include:

    • infections of the fluid and lining around the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) 
    • blood infections (bacteremia or septicemia)

What are the symptoms?

  • Bad headache, stiff neck, fever, tiredness, and muscle pain. Meningitis can cause swelling of the brain and spinal cord, leading to brain damage, deafness, seizures and even death.
  • Blood infections can lead to hearing loss, loss of your arm or leg and organ failure.
  • Even with treatment, about 1 in 10 people with meningococcal disease will die from it.

How can I get the disease?

  • Many people have meningococcal bacteria in the back of their nose and throat. This does not always make them sick. They can still spread the disease. The bacteria is spread through saliva or spit during close, direct contact.
  • This disease is spread through saliva and bodily fluids ex. kissing, sneezing, coughing and sharing food, drinks and eating utensils3.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Students can still catch-up on the second doses of both Hepatitis B and HPV. The second dose is recommended to be given a minimum of six months after the first dose, however having a longer than recommended interval between vaccine doses will still provide the same immunity. No students will need to start their vaccine doses over.

These vaccines will be provided at the catch-up clinics:

  • Meningitis Vaccine Vaccine name: Men-C-ACYW135; Vaccine Brand: Nimenrix®  One dose of Meningococcal ACYW135 is required in grade 7 and is available for free until the child has graduated grade 12. This Meningitis vaccine is the adult version of the one your child received at 12 months of age.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) has concluded that those age 12+ can get other vaccines at the same time as the COIVD-19 vaccine. You do not need to wait a certain number of days before or after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine to get another vaccine.

It is very important that you report any vaccines received to public health. If your doctor or health care provider administered the vaccine, please report the vaccines received online.

If an individual received their first dose at their family doctors or health care providers office and would like a second dose, they can receive a second dose at this vaccine clinic. However, they must update their records online or bring proof of vaccine with them to their appointment. 

Hamilton Public Health is continuing to work with Ministry of Health related to the enforcement of mandatory vaccines under the Immunization of Students and Pupils Act (ISPA).  There has been no decision yet regarding changes to enforcement of ISPA, however any updates will be communicated to schools and families.
