Please Note: All vaccines administered to students will include a $10 in inoculation fee, with the exclusion of TB skin testing which includes a $5 - $20 testing fee. Inoculation and testing fees will be subject to CPI rate increases annually on July 1st. The CPI will only apply to the inoculation fee, the actual vaccination cost increases will be reflected in the cost. These charges are inclusive of the inoculation fee.

With the exception of Quebec, all provinces and territories have an agreement whereby physicians in each province or territory submit claims to their local medical care plan for services provided to residents of the other Canadian jurisdictions. The fees for the services are paid to the physician and the costs are then charged to the resident’s home plan. Therefore if you are a resident of Quebec you will be required to pay upfront for physician visits and you can request a form signed by a physician to submit for reimbursement.
