The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit is working to ensure the Immunization of School Pupils Act is being followed.

The legislation requires students ages 4 to 17 be vaccinated to attend school, or risk suspension.

Officials say the first notice involving incomplete high school student vaccinations have been sent out, with parents having until March 6th to provide updated information, to avoid suspensions.

Vaccination records can be reviewed and submitted online at myhealthunit.ca/reportvaccines utilizing the Immunization Connect Ontario Tool.

For further information on the program, visit myhealthunit.ca or call the Health Unit at 705-474-1400 or 1-800-563-2808 ext. 5252.

Contact the Health Unit to discuss options for parents who do not wish to vaccinate their child.
