The Perth District Health Unit has mailed out 98 suspension orders to Perth County students whose immunization records are not up-to-date.
Public health nurses have reviewed over 12,000 immunization records that belong to Perth County students. The suspension orders take effect on Tuesday, May 28.
Students who receive an order and whose immunization record remains incomplete that day will not be allowed to attend school.
Health unit staff have been contacting families to get missing records, or to advise them on which immunizations are needed.
"The health unit can remove suspension orders up until May 27 if we receive the required immunization information or a valid exemption," said Public Health Nurse Lorna Askes. "It is the parent’s responsibility to report all immunizations to the health unit. If the health unit has a completed record for your child, they are not at risk of suspension."
