Gray Academy position on vaccines for children 5-11
As with all policies for our school, decisions regarding vaccination requirements are set by the Winnipeg Board of Jewish Education (WBJE).

PLEASE NOTE: the WBJE will not be mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for students aged 5-11 for the current school year.

At the same time, the board strongly encourages all families to obtain vaccinations for all eligible children as soon as possible, for the health and well-being of our school community. The WBJE will review its vaccine policies for the 2022-2023 school year.

If you have further questions, please email [email protected].
