COVaxON Training for Primary Care Practices

OntarioMD (OMD) is offering training for primary care practices to administer COVID-19 vaccinations. Training sessions demonstrate how to access and use the provincial COVaxON Vaccination Management System. The COVaxON system enables the Ministry of Health, Vaccination Locations, and staff to collect COVID-19 vaccination data.

Each session covers clinical workflow training for primary care staff who will be involved in documenting the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine in COVaxON using the new Clinical Flow modernization process. Most individuals within the practice are anticipated to need this training. 

NEW! Changes to Clinical Flow – The Ministry of Health is releasing a new version of COVaxON on June 8, 2022, and you will notice some changes to the tool. The new COVaxON Clinical Flow Modernization includes improvements that will streamline workflow for primary care practices, however the tool is still not integrated with EMRs due to limited time and resources. The Ontario Medical Association and OMD continue to advocate with the Ministry for a fully EMR-integrated vaccine management solution.

  • If you have already used, and plan to continue to use COVaxON, please see the dates below for retraining on the new workflow.
  • If you are a new COVaxON user and will offer COVID-19 vaccinations in your practice, dates for end-to-end training sessions are also listed below.

COVaxON training is provided virtually, via Microsoft Teams, and is available to all primary care practice staff offering vaccination clinics. 

Please check this page often for OMD COVaxON training sessions and supplementary training resources. 

Please note that the COVaxON Primary Care Training is not accredited for any certification or continuing education.
