December: Immunization of School Pupils Act Support
Lambton Public Health is here to help families understand and meet Ontario’s school immunization requirements.
Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA), parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring their child’s immunization record is up to date with Lambton Public Health. Your health care provider does not automatically send your child’s vaccination records to Lambton Public Health.
What parents and guardians need to do:
- Ensure your child has received all required vaccines or has a valid exemption
- Book an appointment with your health care provider if your child is missing any required vaccines
- Report your child’s vaccines to Lambton Public Health
- Students who do not have an up-to-date immunization record or valid exemption on file with Lambton Public Health may be suspended from school beginning Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
How to report immunizations
- Online: through ICON
- Phone: 519-383-8331
- Email: immunization@county-lambton.on.ca.
