Ontario’s Vaccine Disclosure Regime Puts Children’s Education at Risk
Ontario’s vaccine disclosure regime is increasingly being used to pressure families into surrendering private medical information — at the expense of children’s right to education.
In a recent discussion with Rebel News’ Tamara Ugolini, John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), warns that Ontario’s application of the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) has drifted far beyond public health safeguards and into a coercive administrative system that weaponizes schools as enforcement tools.
Under ISPA, parents are required to disclose their children’s vaccination status to public health authorities, with that information entered into centralized digital databases such as Panorama. What is rarely acknowledged is that these databases form part of a broader WHO-aligned disease surveillance framework, raising serious concerns about privacy, consent, data security, and permanence. Unlike financial data, medical records cannot be replaced once compromised — yet government systems have a documented history of breaches.
The issue, Carpay explains, is not vaccination itself, but compelled disclosure and the consequences imposed on children when parents refuse. Across Ontario, children are being excluded from school — not for misconduct, but for non-compliance with medical data collection. In many cases, exclusions occur without proper suspension orders, due process, or adherence to the safeguards required under Ontario’s Education Act.
While ISPA permits medical officers of health to request suspensions, Carpay emphasizes that schools derive their authority from the Education Act, which strictly regulates suspensions — particularly long-term exclusions. Reports from families suggest these protections are frequently ignored. Children have been isolated, denied recess or transportation, confined to rooms, or subjected to police or child welfare involvement, often informally and without legal justification.
The human cost is significant. Healthy children are stigmatized, education is disrupted, and families are pressured into compliance through exhaustion rather than lawful process. For many, homeschooling becomes less a choice than an escape from a system that no longer respects boundaries.
Legal challenges do exist, but as Carpay notes, they are often financially and emotionally out of reach, allowing unconstitutional practices to persist unchecked.
As Tamara Ugolini highlights in her interview, the central question Canadians must confront is no longer limited to public health policy. It is about limits on state power.
When access to education is conditioned on the surrender of private medical information, children bear the cost of administrative overreach — and the foundational principles of privacy, dignity and constitutional restraint are put at risk.
