Over the last couple of months, the NOHA has received inquiries as to whether the NOHA Vaccination Policy would include 2010-born participants. The Provincial Government recently amended their guidelines and regulations with respect to those who require proof of vaccination to enter facilities.

2010-born participants will have a 12-week grace period from the date of their 12th birthday to provide proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Once the individual reaches 12 weeks after their birthday, they will be required to provide proof of vaccination to enter facilities.

A full copy of the Ontario Regulations are available here: O. Reg. 364/20: RULES FOR AREAS AT STEP 3 AND AT THE ROADMAP EXIT STEP (ontario.ca). Note that this is not an NOHA policy and is the directive from the Ontario Government. The NOHA Vaccination Policy will be amended to include this updated directive.
