Public Health will be enforcing the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) during the 2024-25 school year. ISPA is an Ontario law that requires certain vaccines to be given for a child to attend school, making sure that all school-aged children are protected from vaccine preventable diseases.
Parents are responsible for reporting their child’s vaccine records or submitting a valid medical or non-medical vaccine exemption to Public Health. Your health care provider does not submit records for you.
If you have recently received a letter indicating that your child does not have any vaccine records on file with Public Health, please visit www.regionofwaterloo.ca/vaccines.
Here you can:
- Access more information about ISPA
- Request or report vaccine records
- Submit vaccine exemption forms
- Book vaccine appointments
