Food for Fines returns to New immunization requirements
the Huron County Library for school attendance
Here's your chance to
donate to local food banks
while paying your overdue
library fines.
From Sept. 15 to 21, the
Huron County Library is
bringing back Food for
Fines to all twelve of its
branches. Throughout the
week, the library branches
will accept non-perishable
food items as payment for
overdue items. Library
users have the opportunity
to clear their record, return
overdue materials and
support local food banks.
Food for Fines is offered
through the Huron County
Library in partnership
with the Huron County
Health Unit and local food
banks. During the pro-
gram, fines for items are
1=1=
waived on a one-to-one
ratio: one item of food for
each overdue book!
All donations received
through Food for Fines are
distributed to food banks
within Huron County.
Some restrictions apply.
Visit your local library
branch or www.huron-

The Huron County Health
Unit reminds parents and
caregivers that three vac-
cines in the province's
immunization schedule are
now required for students
to attend school.
Effective July 1, 2014,
changes to the Immuniza-
tion of School Pupils Act
(ISPA) require students to
have immunizations
against pertussis (whoop-
ing cough) and meningitis.
Children starting junior
kindergarten this year must
also receive the varicella
(chickenpox) vaccine.
"These vaccines are in the
Publicly Funded Immuniza-
tion Schedule for Ontario
but were not previously
required for school attend-
ance," said public health
nurse Shirley Chalmers.
"The changes help further
protect children and com-
munities against vaccine -
preventable diseases."
Ontario students are
already required to receive
immunizations against
diphtheria, tetanus, polio,
measles, mumps and
rubella.
Health units are required
to keep immunization
records of all students. The
Huron County Health Unit
usually receives immuniza-
tion information from par-
ents and caregivers through
the school registration pro-
cess. The copy provided to
the school is sent to the
Health Unit.
If your child receives a
vaccine after they have reg-
istered for school that infor-
mation is not automatically
shared between physician
offices and the Health Unit.
Be sure to report these
immunizations to the Huron
County Health Unit so that
your child's records are kept
up to date.
Information regarding the
required immunizations:
Pertussis is included in
vaccinations given at two,
four, six and 18 months, as
well as the four to six year
booster. It is also in the
booster given to high
school students.
Meningitis vaccine is
now given at one year of
age. A second type is given
to 12 year olds in Grade 7.
Both are now required
depending on the age of
your child. The Grade 7 vac-
cine is offered in school-
based clinics.
Children born in 2010
require two doses of the var-
icella vaccine for school
attendance. Varicella vac-
cine is given to children 15
months old with a second
dose given with the age four
to six booster. The second
dose maybe combined with
the measles, mumps and
rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Older children are not
required to have the vaccine
but it is recommended.
To report an immuniza-
tion or to ask questions
about these changes, please
contact the Huron County
Health Unit by phone at
519-482-3416 or 1-877-837-
6143 ext. 2329. You can also
email immunize@huron-
c ounty. c a or fax to
