The immunizations required for school entry in New Brunswick have changed with the new NB Health Act.
The updated requirements reflect the current immunization schedule in NB for children, most children have been receiving all recommended immunizations but they were not required for school entry until now.
In most cases the kindergarten records are missing the preschool booster (due at 4 years of age which is probably after the school registration date last October when the records were collected). Kindergarten parents are asked to provide the school with an updated immunization record including the preschool booster in the next few weeks.
Please consult the link below for the current immunization schedule for children:
