Do you have access to the actual laws the way we do here in the U.S.? Sometimes the colleges say one thing but when you pursue it, you find out differently.

I don't know where to find the actual law.

She is wanting to get a diploma in social work, and the college will admit

her to classes, the problem lies in her work placements. She is required to

work so many hours in a job placement. Most placements would fall under the

health care field (similar to nurses and paramedics) and they are required

to be fully vaccinated.

This is what it says on the college form:

POLICY FOR STUDENT PLACEMENTS:

Health Care Providers and students who work in health care facilities have

an obligation to protect patients and themselves from infection that can be

transmitted

within health care practice settings. Immunization is an important tool in

preventing the transmission of infections and assists in safeguarding the

health of the student

during their education and beyond:

1. Durham College has mandated immunization /testing requirements for all

students doing clinical practice in designated agencies

2. These agencies have the right to refuse access to students who do not

meet their immunization/testing requirements.

3. Failure to submit a signed and correctly completed immunization form to

the practicum coordinator may lead to the de-registration from clinical

courses.

It is the student's responsibility to ensure the following:

1. The form is complete, legible and signed by the student and authorized

Health Care Providers (HCP) and copies are made for their personal records.

2. Copies of the original immunization records are to be attached along with

all required serology reports/results and chest x-ray report (if needed due

to positive

Mantoux results). These documents can take several weeks to obtain.

3. Medical exemption is attached if necessary (no personal exemptions will

be accepted).

4. Computerized records of childhood vaccines can be obtained by calling

your Public Health Department. Students who attended Durham Region

Elementary/High Schools call 905-668-7711 and ask for the immunization

department. Contact information for all Ontario Public Health Departments

can be found on the following web-site.

I'm really hoping there is a way around this!!

contact Edda at

info@...

for help with Canada - I don't know how they can require for college when

not required for other schools and against constitution to require

vaccines

Let me know what happens.

But I would suggest staying away from traditional medicine - its not a

health field but a disease field

but ask Edda what to do

According to the school website, she must provide copies of all her

immunizations (she has had none) or a medical exemption. It goes on

to state that personal exemptions are not accepted.

Is there anyway around this?

Does this mean that she cannot pursue a career in the health field?

I am so upset right now!

I'm not sure. I'd hate for her to go through 2 years of schooling and then

find out she couldn't do her placement.

I'm trying to find the guidelines for health professionals (nurses etc).

That is where the problem lies. She will be able to attend college but in

order to work in the field she needs the medical exemption.

Thanks, I sent a message to VRAN already, but haven't yet heard back from

them.

She wants to be a social worker or a child/youth worker.

thank you, that is good advice

I am trying to locate a dr that will help - hoping there is one here

I would think that some placements would not require this so that is worth

pursueing too
