Vaccination Disclosure
The Government of Ontario implemented an immunization disclosure requirement for all publicly funded school board employees and other individuals regularly in these settings for the 2021-22 school year.
This Protocol is separate from, and in addition to, the Board’s required daily self-assessment screening/confirmation process.
According to the province and local health authorities, achieving high immunization rates in Ontario’s schools through vaccination is part of a range of measures and actions that can help prevent and/or limit the spread of COVID-19 in schools and supports our goal of keeping schools open and safe for in-person learning.
Individuals subject to this Protocol will be required to provide proof of one of the following three things:
- Full vaccination against COVID-19
- A medical reason for not being vaccinated against COVID-19
- Completion of a COVID-19 vaccination educational program prescribed by the Ministry of Education.
Those who are not fully vaccinated will be required to complete COVID-19 rapid antigen testing at a minimum frequency prescribed by the Ministry of Education.
This Protocol applies to all school board employees as well as frequent school visitors and other professionals who provide services in schools and interact with students and staff, including third-party contractors.
For more information, read the SGDSB Vaccination Disclosure Guideline.
