As of March 19th, 2025, 265 secondary students are suspended from school for continuing to have incomplete immunization records with the Health Unit, as required by the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) R.S.O.1990.
In addition, 84 elementary students remain suspended since March 3rd, 2025.
Parents/guardians must update their child’s immunization record, thereby removing the suspension order so that the student may return to school, through one of the following actions:
- Update the student’s immunization record
- Online at immune.wechu.org (must upload proof of immunization as an attachment).
- Ask their child’s Health Care Provider (HCP) to fax missing immunization information to the WECHU @ 519-258-7288.
- Bring the child’s immunization record to the WECHU (Windsor or Leamington office) to be updated.
- Get the student immunized
- Book an appointment for their child to receive missing vaccines or obtain a valid medical exemption from their HCP. The child’s updated immunization records must be reported to the WECHU.
- Attend a walk-in immunization clinic at the WECHU Windsor or Leamington location. For more details, visit wechu.org/getimmunized.
The WECHU is here to help affected families. Services available 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at our offices include immunization counselling and support, updating immunization records, and administration of missing vaccines.
