Important Immunization Message from Peel Public Health
Peel Public Health regularly reviews the immunization records of all students in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB).
To attend school, your child’s record must show that they have received all required vaccines according to the Ontario Immunization Schedule. These include infant/initial and booster doses for:
- Measles, mumps, rubella
- Diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis (whooping cough)
- Meningococcal disease
- Varicella (chickenpox, required if born in 2010 or later)
When your child registered for school, you provided an immunization record that was shared with Peel Public Health. After registration, parents/guardians are responsible for keeping their child’s immunization record up to date directly with Peel Public Health.
Your child’s record may be incomplete if:
- The record submitted at registration did not show all required vaccines, or
- Your child has since become due for another vaccine.
Important: Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, Peel Public Health has the authority to suspend students whose immunization records are incomplete.
