The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit is advising parents to make sure their children’s immunizations are up to date ahead of the summer break.
Attendance at camps, sporting events and family travel offer risks that vaccinations protect against.
In June, students born in 2016 and 2017 (Grades 2 and 3) from across Simcoe Muskoka who are missing required immunizations were sent home with letters from their schools. Parents who received one of these letters are encouraged to act soon to help keep their children healthy and protected.
Families who do not have a health care provider can book an immunization appointment at one of the health unit offices in Barrie, Collingwood, Cookstown, Gravenhurst, Huntsville, Midland and Orillia.
