The Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) is a law in Ontario, Canada, that requires children and adolescents under the age of 18 to receive certain vaccinations to attend primary and secondary school unless a valid exemption is provided, which includes medical, religious, and conscience exemptions.[1][2][3][4][5] The law applies to both private and public schools.[5] ISPA was adopted in 1990 and was last amended in 2017.[2][3]
The law requires vaccinations against the following diseases:[1]
Diphtheria
Tetanus
Polio
Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Meningococcal disease
Whooping cough
Chickenpox (children born in 2010 or later)
On October 28, 2021, Chief Medical Officer of Health of Ontario Kieran Moore said that Ontario will not integrate a COVID-19 vaccine requirement into ISPA "at present".[6]
