Dear Parent/Guardian:
The Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires Public Health to
collect and review vaccine records for all students in Ontario schools.
All students must be vaccinated against, or submit a valid exemption for, the
following diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella,
meningococcal disease and pertussis (whooping cough). Students born in
2010 or later also need a varicella (chicken pox) vaccine.
Every time your child gets a vaccine from their health care provider, you need
to notify Public Health. Your health care provider does not report vaccine
records for you.
This letter is to inform you that Public Health does not have a
vaccine record or valid vaccine exemption on file for your child.
Please go to regionofwaterloo.ca/vaccines or scan the QR code below for
more information and to report a vaccine record.
