School Immunization Schedule
Each year, Alberta Health Services, Public Health reviews immunization records for students in grades 1 through 9 to see which immunizations students need. A consent form is then sent home with an information sheet for each vaccine recommended for each student. No immunizations will be given in school without consent from a parent or legal guardian. Immunizations in this program include:
