Immunizations

Most programs require completion of an immunization form. You can check if yours are required by visiting the Requirements by Program page.

You can complete the immunization requirements through your own health care provider or through an appointment with Fleming Collegeā€™s Health Services Department. Please visit NARs FAQs for a list of other health care providers that you can reach out to if you are unable to book with Health Services.

Follow the instructions included very carefully. Health Servicesā€™ staff are happy to answer any questions you have about completing this process.

It is your responsibility to bring the immunization form with you each time you attend an immunization appointment to allow your health care provider to update and sign off on any new information. If you forget your form, Synergy will accept a proof of vaccine card provided by your health care provider. Please note, these cards can be misplaced easily so we recommend that you take a photo of the card immediately.

Synergy does require lab results for clearance.

Please confirm with your program specific requirements if you require an immunization form (including a baseline two-step skin test) and/or annual one-step TB tests. Proof of a clear chest x-ray accompanied by a report confirming your TB status can also be accepted if you have previously had a positive skin test or if you have previously had TB. Please contact NARs if you have any questions about this.

Flu Shot

If you are able to get your flu shot before your deadline or before November 30th, please upload it to Synergy. If you are not able to get a flu shot before your deadline, please be sure to get your flu shot before November 29th and upload proof before November 30th to Synergy.

If your program lists the flu shot as required, or required in certain semesters only, you are required to get the flu shot when you are able to. If your program recommends getting the flu shot, it is strongly encouraged, but is not mandatory.

In the event of a flu outbreak at a placement site, it is at the discretion of the site whether they will allow the student missing the shot to be present during the outbreak or whether the student must stay home until the outbreak is over.

COVID Booster

Fleming College is aware that on September 1st, 2024 all COVID vaccines were pulled from the market in preparation for the release of the new vaccine formulation that will be coming out in October 2024. As a result, it is currently not possible for anyone in the province of Ontario to be vaccinated for COVID. Synergy has temporarily listed the COVID vaccine as optional during the time where the COVID vaccine is not available. Please upload all other NARs to Synergy and update your COVID vaccination(s) when you are able to.
