Parents (or students 16 years and older) are responsible for reporting vaccine records or submitting a valid medical or non-medical vaccine exemption to Public Health. Your health care provider does not submit records for you.

Did you know?  Between 14 and 16 years old, students should be vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) in a 3-in-1 vaccine called the Tdap vaccine. A student is considered overdue for this vaccine exactly 10 years after their dose received between 4 and 6 years old. For example, if a student received a dose at age 4, they will be due for their next dose at age 14.

If you receive a letter from Public Health indicating that your child has no vaccine record on file with Public Health or that their record is not complete, please visit regionofwaterloo.ca/vaccines to:

• Report vaccine records
• Submit a vaccine exemption form
• Book a vaccine appointment (if your child does not have an Ontario Health Card or a health care provider)
