The province is making sure schools are safe from communicable diseases. The Ministry of Health announced tougher vaccine requirements Wednesday. As of this fall, students must have proof of vaccination against meningococcal disease and whooping cough. Kids born after 2010 must also be immunized against chickenpox. The new requirements are on top of existing ones for tetanus, diphtheria, polio and mumps.
