The Immunization of School Pupils Act (Immunisation des élèves) requires parents to provide proof of their child's vaccinations to the Health Unit.

Getting your child vaccinated is an important decision. When you choose to vaccinate your child, you are protecting them from many vaccine preventable diseases (Maladies pouvant être prévenues par la vaccination) that can cause serious illness and even death.

School based vaccination programs and vaccine requirements
The Health Unit is changing the way we conduct our school vaccine clinics this year. We will be providing community clinics throughout our district. These community clinics are for Grade 7 and 8 students as well as secondary school students who are due for vaccines. You may also book an appointment for these vaccines at the Health Unit by calling 705-474-1400 ext 5377. If you are unsure if your child is due for a vaccine you can view your child's vaccination record online using this Immunization Connect Ontario link.
