Vaccination and Ontario Public Schools

Back-to-School Tip:

For a variety of reasons, you may have chosen not to have your child vaccinated with one or more vaccines.

If so, please know that a child can NOT legally be refused admission to an Ontario public school on the basis of lack of vaccination. The child's parent or guardian must simply complete the affidavit form available on the Ontario government's web site: http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/GetAttachDocs/014-7470-64E~1/$File/7470-64E.doc

Private schools and daycares, however, may legally refuse to register an unvaccinated child for classes.
