Children in child care
According to Ontario’s Child Care and Early Years Act (2014) (external link), students who attend licensed child care centres must be immunized against certain diseases, unless they have an exemption. Your child care centre requires proof of immunization or exemption before your child can attend the centre. It’s the law and helps keep our children safe and healthy!
The Halton Region Health Department collects, assesses and maintains immunization records for all children in licensed child care centres. This allows us to identify students who are at risk of certain diseases. Your child’s family doctor does not report their immunizations. Parents must submit these records to the Health Department AND to their child care centre.
Parents should do the following:
- Report your child’s immunization record:
- Request a copy of the updated record.
- Submit the record received from the Health Department to the child care centre.
Children attending child care must be immunized against:
- Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio and haemophilus influenza type b (Hib)
- Pneumococcal disease
- Rotavirus
- Measles, mumps and rubella (German measles)
- Varicella (chickenpox)
- Meningococcal disease
