Pursuant to the Immunization of School Pupils Act, R.R.O. 1990, REGULATION 645, the medical officer of health is required to collect, keep and maintain immunization record of students attending school in Ontario. The schools are required to report the collection of data to the medical officer of health. There is absolutely no mandatory requirement that a student needed immunization/vaccination in order to attend school. Neither the school or the medical officer of health has the legal right to suspend or exclude a student from attending school for lack of evidence or reporting of immunization. There is an Affidavit - Sworn Statement of Conscience or Religious Belief Vaccination Exemption Form to be acknowledged by the parents that ONLY in the event of an outbreak or risk of an outbreak of a designated disease situated specifically to the school that the medical officer of health MAY have a right to exclude the student from school who has not provided evidence of immunization for fear that such child may be at risk of contacting the disease. Accordingly, the legal parent or guardian of the child may get this vaccination exemption form submitted to the school upon being properly sworn and witnessed by a Commissioner for Taking Affidavits.
