The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is holding a “Let’s Grow with Immunization” clinic today, March 10, 2026, in Pembroke, Ontario, to help families keep their children’s vaccinations up to date.

The clinic is located at 141 Lake Street and runs from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. It is specifically designed to provide routine and catch-up shots that children need to attend school in the province.

Health officials began moving toward issuing suspension orders on March 2, 2026, for students who have not met provincial requirements. Under Ontario law, students must be immunized against several diseases or have a valid exemption to stay in the classroom.

Parents and guardians must book an appointment in advance to attend the clinic. You can schedule a time by calling the Family Health Intake line at 613-735-9774.

The health unit is hosting this event to make it easier for local families to follow the rules and avoid any disruption to their children’s schooling.
