In Ontario, under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, health units are required to have up-to-date immunization records for all students.
If parents do not provide this information to the health unit, the child could be temporarily suspended from school.
During consultation with parents, remind them to update the health unit after each immunization their child receives (check the child’s immunization card and share that record with the health unit).
Parents can quickly report their child’s immunization:
