The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) continues to offer walk-in immunization services in Windsor and Leamington for students over the March Break. This includes providing missing vaccines and updating immunization records for elementary students currently suspended from school and secondary students at risk of suspension.

The WECHU has received confirmation of our area’s second and third case of measles. Additional cases and exposure risks are expected over the coming days and weeks. We are working closely with neighbouring health units as part of a provincial response and are in regular communication with the Ontario Ministry of Health regarding the situation in Windsor and Essex County.

As of March 7th, 2025, 253 elementary students are suspended from school for continuing to have incomplete immunization records with the Health Unit
