Ontario expands midwives' scope to administer vaccines.

Ontario has expanded the scope of practice for midwives, allowing them to administer routine vaccinations, including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and Tdap shots, as well as prescribe more medications.

The Ministry of Health is working with the College of Midwives of Ontario and the Association of Ontario Midwives to further optimize the midwives' scope of practice.
