Measles has made a comeback in recent years and has been getting all the attention, but it is just one of nine diseases that children in Ontario must be vaccinated against in order to attend school.
Required vaccines
Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Polio
Diphtheria
Tetanus
Meningococcal disease
Pertussis (whooping cough)
Varicella (chickenpox, for children born in 2010 or later)
Must all children be immunized to attend school or daycare?
Children can be exempted from immunization for religious, medical or philosophical reasons, but they may be prohibited from attending school or daycare if there is an outbreak. In Ontario, about two per cent of students are exempted from immunization.
What is new?
Meningococcal disease, chickenpox and pertussis were added to the list of required vaccines for schoolchildren in September 2014. At the same time, the province changed the number of required dosages for other required vaccines.
When do children normally get vaccinated with the required vaccines?
Diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis and Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) as a combined 5-in-1 vaccine: 2, 4, 6 and 18 months of age.
Measles, mumps and rubella: after their first birthday and a second shot at 4 to 6 years of age
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine: 12 months and Grade 7
Varicella (chickenpox): 15 months and 4 to 6 years
Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and polio vaccine: 4 to 6 years
Booster of tetanus, diptheria and pertussis: 14 to 16 years of age
Parents are the link to record keeping
Many parents are not aware that accurate immunization record keeping relies on their input. Public health officials receive children’s records when they enter school, but boosters and vaccines that are administered after that should be reported to public health.
