Immunization - School Age Children
Immunizations provide students with the protection they need against viruses and diseases that can spread at school.
Keep your kids on schedule with their immunizations!
An immunization schedule is a list of vaccine your child needs as they get older and the ages that they should happen. The immunizations on the Ontario schedule are free for those who live here, including newcomers. To learn more about the schedule for school-age children and teenagers in Ontario, visit the Ministry of Health website.
Immunization Record Review
The Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) R.S.O. 1990 is a law in Ontario that requires students to have certain vaccines to go to school.
Each school year, the Middlesex-London Health Unit reviews immunization records of elementary and secondary school students to make sure their immunization records meet the requirements under the law. Students with missing immunizations are mailed or given a letter. Students may be suspended from school if they do not update their records with the missing vaccines. Learn more →
