Student Immunization Update from Public Health

A Message from Region of Waterloo Public Health

Public Health will be enforcing the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) during the 2025-26 school year. ISPA is an Ontario law that requires certain vaccines to be given for a student to attend school, making sure that all school-aged children and youth are protected from vaccine preventable diseases.

Parents (or students 16 years and older) are responsible for reporting their student’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 receive a letter indicating that your student 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 (for those who do not have an Ontario health card or do not have a family doctor)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to immunizationservices@regionofwaterloo.ca and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

As always, we are grateful for your ongoing support of Public Health’s vaccination programs.

Thank you,

Immunization Services
Region of Waterloo Public Health
