Current guidanceCopy Anchor Link

Ontario Regulation 257/00 sets communicable-disease and immunization qualifications for emergency medical attendants and paramedics. It also applies specified protections to students who attend or assist on ambulance calls. The incorporated Ambulance Service Communicable Disease Standards list the immunization requirements and diseases from which covered individuals must be free.

The program's declaration is an administrative way to collect evidence for those requirements. The regulation and standard do not create one universal student form.
