Points of consideration for interpretation of the data:
• Only schools from the four public boards within the catchment for Ottawa Public Health (OPH) were included
• Schools with enrollment <10 students are excluded for privacy reasons
• Data was extracted at the end of the school immunization surveillance period for each school board (March - May 2019)
• Coverage reflects students who are not overdue for all ISPA designated vaccines according to their age
• Birth cohorts included are 2001-2014
• % Coverage for a given school was estimated as the # of students compliant with ISPA for their age - # of students with an exemption (medical, philosophical, administrative) / number of students enrolled at the school
• Students with a medical exemption due to documented immunity are not included in the % covered
• Data is only reflective of records and updates that are reported to OPH
• Abbreviations: JK – junior kindergarten, M – maternelle (FR)
Update Frequency: Annually, at the end of the school year.
