You are required to provide up-to-date immunization information for your child when registering for school for the first time.

This includes registering for kindergarten and students coming from outside Ontario.

The immunization online tool allows you to report your child’s immunizations. The tool allows you to attach a photo of the immunization record when reporting.

To report an immunization, you'll need to provide:

• The child's full name, address, and date of birth.
• The parent or guardian's name.
• The date the child was immunized.
• The vaccine the child received.
• The child's Ontario Health Card (OHIP) number. If your child does not have an OHIP number review other ways to report.

After you report your immunizations online you will be given a reference number. Keep this number for your records. You will need to give this number to your child’s school when registering.

If you cannot locate a reference number, previously reported immunizations online or you are experiencing technical issues with the online reporting tool, contact Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700.

If you do not have online access or your child does not have an Ontario Health Card, contact your school for other ways to report immunizations.

If you are looking for information about how to get an exemption, see requesting an immunization exemption for options.

If you haven't reported all your child's immunizations, you might get a letter from the Region asking for the information to be submitted.

Review your child’s information on the letter, for example the spelling of your child’s name, or date of birth to make sure it is correct. Contact your child’s school if you need to update the information.

Peel Public Health will not be suspending students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Common reasons for getting a letter from the Region:

• Your child’s immunization record is not up-to-date with the Region.
• Your child hasn't received a vaccine.
• Your child received immunizations that do not meet the requirements of Ontario's Routine Immunization Schedule.
• You've requested an exemption, but the Region hasn't received the original signed and completed medical form, notarized conscience, or religious affidavit.
• Your child’s immunizations were not given on time according to the schedule.

If your child is in school, they must:

• Be immunized against certain diseases, or
• Have a valid exemption.

You must report your child’s immunizations to Peel Region, otherwise they may be suspended from school. Please note, Peel Public Health will not be suspending students in the 2022-2023 school year.

If you have chosen not to immunize your child, you can apply for an exemption. If your child has a valid exemption, they will not be suspended from school. However, your child may not be allowed to attend school during a disease outbreak. Outbreaks can last for several weeks.

There are 2 types of exemptions:

1. A medical exemption
2. A non-medical exemption for conscience or religious beliefs

Medical exemptions

Your child may qualify for a medical exemption for immunizations specifically required to attend school if:

• A medical condition prevents your child from receiving vaccines, or
• Your child is already protected (proven to have immunity) against certain diseases.

Your doctor or nurse practitioner must sign a medical exemption form. For more information, call the Region at 905-799-7700.

Non-medical exemptions (conscience or religious belief)

The Region offers the opportunity for parents and guardians to attend an immunization information session for those considering a non-medical exemption for their child for immunizations specifically required to attend school. If interested in attending a session or have questions about the exemption process, call the Region at 905-799-7700.

To complete a non-medical exemption for children attending school in Caledon, Brampton or Mississauga, you will have to submit the original Statement of Conscience or Religious Belief Form (ISPA) after getting it signed by a commissioner for taking affidavits in Ontario. A copy of the notarized form will not be accepted.

The completed original form must be submitted by courier or registered mail.
