There were more than 700 high school students suspended in the region last week for having out-of-date vaccination records.
Region of Waterloo Public Health announced April 9 that 704 students were suspended effective immediately, which came after the department mailed suspension orders last month to 3,258 students whose records were out of date.
“I think it may be just families get busy and just miss out,” Jessie Johal, the associate director of infectious, suggested of the high suspension count.
