2020/2021 Universal Influenza Immunization Program (UIIP)

Reporting Requirements

UIIP Vaccine Administration Reporting

For the 2020/2021 UIIP season, the ministry no longer requires vaccine utilization reports from facilities that participate in the UIIP.

Reimbursement submission requirements for eligible organizations holding public influenza vaccine clinics still apply. Please see the Reimbursement for administration section for more information.

Pharmacies that administer influenza vaccine to individuals without an OHIP card must complete a Universal Influenza Immunization Program Pharmacy Form for these doses for vaccine administration tracking purposes.
