Dear Parent/Caregiver,

The Immunization Suspension dates are fast approaching this is a reminder to update your student’s vaccination and report the vaccination to public health as soon as you can.

PLEASE NOTE –  that all vaccinations and reporting of vaccinations must be received by Public Health before Tuesday, April 30, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. or your student will be suspended from school starting Wednesday, May 1.  

See below for instructions on how to make appointments for vaccines or to update your vaccination records.

∙Book a vaccine appointment Appointments are available for any student who needs to catch up on their routine vaccines at Public Health clinics. Families can also contact their healthcare provider or a walk-in clinic for vaccine availability.

∙Report your child’s vaccines to Public Health It is the parent/legal guardian’s responsibility to report their child’s vaccines to Public Health if they received their vaccines from a health care provider. All they need is a copy of their child’s vaccination record from their health care provider and their child’s health card number (if applicable). Watch this video for instructions on how to report.
