Health unit urges parents to update student immunizations online

SIMCOE MUSKOKA — It may be too early to talk about fall for many of us, but not if you’re involved in school.

The health unit urges parents to update their immunization records online.

From sex-ed to overall health, parents with kids in school are preoccupied.

The health unit reminds them that when you’re checking off your back-to-school today, remember that you can easily update your child’s immunization records online.

In Ontario, under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, up to date immunization records are required for all students and it is up to the parent to report immunizations to their health unit.

Share your child’s immunization record with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit by going to www.simcoemuskokahealth.org/immsonline.

If you think you have missed any of your child’s vaccinations or need more information, call Health Connection at 721-7520 or 1-877-721-7520 weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to find out what you need to do to catch up on missed vaccinations.
