Student Immunizations

About Immunizations

Ontario’s Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) (opens in new window) requires that students be vaccinated against nine designated diseases or have a valid exemption. These routine childhood vaccines are based on Ontario’s Immunization Schedule (opens in new window) (also available in French PDF) and include vaccination against:

  • Measles
  • Mumps
  • Rubella
  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Polio
  • Pertussis (whooping cough)
  • Meningococcal
  • Varicella (chickenpox) – for students born in 2010 or later

Parents/legal guardians or students (16 years of age and older) must report their vaccines to Toronto Public Health (TPH) or they can miss school.

Health care providers do not report vaccines to TPH.

Vaccination is important for the health of each student and the school community.

Lord Roberts does not accept medical/immunization records through our main office or via email. Please forward all documentation directly to Toronto Public Health.

Submitting Foreign Records

TPH receives vaccination information in many languages other than English. You can use any of the options above to report vaccinations for school age individuals from outside of Ontario/Canada, or if the records are in languages other than English. For individuals that are not school aged, TPH recommends finding a settlement agency or community agency (opens in new window) that offer translation services.
