Students between the ages of four and 17 could face suspension from school if they do not have certain vaccinations.
Students between the ages of four and 17 in the province could face suspension from school if they do not have certain vaccinations but health units say immunizations lagged during the pandemic.
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has issued 7,858 suspension orders to students with incomplete immunization records, saying they have until Sept. 12 to update them. Toronto Public Health, meanwhile, says it is behind on assessing immunization records due to the pandemic and is currently in the process of reviewing them while holding clinics to help students catch up.
Peterborough Public Health says more students are behind on immunizations than usual due to COVID-19 disruptions, and it is also hosting clinics with an eye to revisit enforcement of the rules next year. The public health unit in Niagara Region says it also has not been able to comprehensively review immunization records in recent years due to the pandemic and it is running catch-up clinics for students.
