Immunization Records Screening by Peel Public Health
Peel Public Health is required by law to keep immunization records of all school-aged children in the Region of Peel. The current review of immunization records is a routine process mandated by the Immunization of School Pupils Act, 1990. Under the Act, students under the age of 18 must provide proof of up-to-date immunization against: diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and rubella. The Act also requires public health departments to issue orders to suspend children whose records are incomplete.
If you have received a letter from Peel Public Health regarding your child’s immunizations, please visit www.immunizepeel.ca for more information or call 905-799-7700. Caledon residents may call 905-584-2216.
