Halton Region COVID-19 Homebound Service
The spring COVID-19 vaccination service has ended for eligible homebound residents.
- High risk individuals who did not receive a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in the spring can receive their next dose in the fall. Receiving a dose in the fall may help to protect against strains of the COVID-19 virus that may be circulating later in the year.
- Any applications submitted will be scheduled once the fall 2025 campaign begins.
Residents are encouraged to get their COVID-19 vaccines wherever they receive their influenza vaccine, such as at participating pharmacies or their primary care provider. The COVID-19 vaccination service for homebound residents is available to Halton residents who are unable to leave their homes. To be eligible for this service, the person must be unable to physically leave their home or leaving home requires a considerable effort. For example, the person normally does not leave their home on their own (with or without support) to access medical, public, or social services.
Eligible residents can submit a request for this service by completing the COVID-19 Vaccination Service for Homebound Residents – service form.
This form can be completed by a:
- eligible Halton resident or substitute decision maker
- physician or health care provider
- congregate living administrator
