All students who attend a school in Ontario must be vaccinated against the following diseases:
International students are required to provide a copy of their vaccination record when enrolling in a program. The Sudbury & District Health Unit needs to know which primary vaccines the student received since birth. While immunization could have occurred at intervals that are quite different from the Ontario schedule, the vaccines themselves must be very comparable.
