Vaccine Choice Canada (VCC), along with five individual mothers of children in the school system, have launched an action, in the Superior Court of Ontario, against the government of Ontario, challenging the Constitutional Validity of the Immunization of School Pupils Act and Ontario’s compulsory vaccine regime, and the mandatory “education/information sessions”, and sworn Statement required, to obtain an exemption from a vaccine, failing which a child will be suspended, expelled, and/or not registered.

Schools will require kids’ immunization status by fall, B.C. health minister says
B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix says he expects mandatory reporting of vaccinations to be in place for the start of school in September. All students in both public and private schools would be required to provide proof of immunization against diseases such as the measles. Parents who refuse based on religious or philosophical grounds would be required to attend a course designed to show them the risks of not vaccinating their children. … Dix said new legislation is not needed, since regulations can be added in accordance with the Public Health Act. … ‘It’s my view mandatory reporting can happen in a relatively short period of time,’ said Dix. ‘The long period required to wait for legislation is not required in this case and we can move forward more quickly.’ … In Ontario, children who attend primary or secondary schools must be immunized against several diseases, including measles, unless they have an exemption for medical reasons or due to conscience or religious belief. ‘What we’ve proposed in B.C. is really the same as in Ontario,’ said Dix. ‘It will be structured in law somewhat differently, but it will be mandatory reporting.'”
