Immunizations for School-Aged Children and Youth

Reporting Immunizations to TBDHU

  • Parents and/or guardians are responsible for reporting their child’s immunizations to their local public health unit so an up to date record is on file for the student.
  • Learn more about the options available for submitting records by visiting the Reporting and Obtaining Immunization Records webpage. There is now an option to take a photo of any paper records and upload to a secure website.
  • Public health units in Ontario are required to keep up-to-date immunization records for every student in relation to nine designated diseases as outlined in the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA).  
  • Public health units will review immunization records of all elementary and secondary students annually to ensure they are up-to-date.
  • Reporting immunizations to TBDHU also allows for timely review and action if there is a report of a vaccine preventable disease (e.g. measles) in a school.
