COVID-19: Vaccines

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Background

Ottawa Public Health has a new COVID-19 Vaccine page at OttawaPublicHealth.ca/COVID19Vaccine which has information on the situation in Ottawa, how the vaccines work and considerations for residents. The City of Ottawa's COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force continues work on a plan for vaccine distribution in Ottawa: https://ottawa.ca/en/covid-19-vaccine-distribution-faqs.

It will take many months before large amounts of the population are vaccinated. It is important that Ottawans continue to do what works to reduce the spread of the virus: maintain a two-metre distance from others outside their own household, wear a mask, stay home when sick and wash their hands. In Ottawa, a large amount of spread is happening in private social gatherings such as parties and large family get-togethers. Limiting close contacts is very important in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

All COVID-19 engagement surveys are currently closed. Please check back regularly as we will update this page to seek ongoing feedback as we continue to navigate next steps.

    The phase 3 survey is now available!

    The City and Ottawa Public Health are exploring how we can support Ottawa residents as businesses and services have gradually reopened during Stage 3 of the Ontario Government’s Framework for Reopening our Province.

    In phase 3, we want to hear about how COVID-19 is affecting your life including your long-term aspirations and concerns living with the virus. We want to hear your perceptions of the mandatory mask bylaw and other safety measures, social circles and gathering limits and opening of higher risk sectors (i.e. gyms, bars, schools). We ask that you share your ideas for how businesses and services can operate safely.

    Your feedback will continue to help us develop a recovery plan that meets the needs and expectations of our community.
