Public health officials in Waterloo region are urging people to get vaccinated after more than 1,600 elementary students were suspended for out-of-date vaccination records on Wednesday.
Nearly 9,000 suspension orders were issued back in February as a warning to students and parents to either get vaccinated or update health records.
“Vaccination is the best way to ensure your family is protected against serious illness,” said Dr. Hsiu-Li Wang, the Region of Waterloo’s medical officer of health, in a release Wednesday morning.
If your child is one of the 1,624 students who has been suspended, a parent must book a vaccine appointment with their health care provider or public health. If a vaccine appointment is already booked for a future date, parents can inform public health through an online form at regionofwaterlo.ca/vaccines.
