Reporting Your Child's Immunization to the Health Unit
It is important to notify the Health Unit when a child is immunized. At the present time, immunization information is not automatically transferred between the health care provider and the Health Unit. The Leeds Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has a legislated mandate to ensure that all school children are immunized or have the appropriate exemptions. The Health Unit staff regularly conduct immunization audits to identify any students for whom we do not have up to date information. Keeping the Health Unit informed of your child's immunization can prevent your child being unduly suspended or excluded from school.
To update your child's record, contact the Health Unit by mail at:
Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit
485 Laurier Blvd.,
Brockville, ON
K6V 7A3
If your child experiences an adverse reaction following an immunization, please contact your health care provider or go to the nearest emergency department. Your health care provider will complete an official "AEFI" report and send it to the Health Unit for data entry into the provincial registry.
