Maintaining good health is important, and maintaining good health records plays a key role in doing so. Recently, Toronto Public Health has increased monitoring of students who are either missing a vaccination or did not file the appropriate record proving vaccinations are up to date. Schools, both public and private, do not allow unvaccinated children to register or attend for public health and safety reasons. Either of these infractions, a missed or unreported vaccination, will cost your child a suspension from school until the matter is resolved. In fact, according to a recent article in The Toronto Star “A total of 5,063 public elementary students were suspended in Toronto this school year after getting caught in what one doctor called, a “1970s-style, cumbersome process” over immunization records.” Unfortunately, the article states, there is no system in place for doctors to remind parents about their child’s immunization, and no system for parents to keep updated about it. This widespread problem, resulting in a whopping 7% suspension rate of elementary students alone, needs to be addressed by a reliable digital reporting system that keeps track of all vaccinations as they occur. The onus is on the parents to report the vaccines, but having the information at your fingertips could save a lot of frustration, stress and missed school.
