That's a different province, this is the Ontario Law (amended 2021):

Health Care Consent Act https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/96h02

https://archive.ph/smnfE This star article says the act "states there is no minimum age to provide consent for vaccination and a child does not need external permission to receive one,"

https://archive.ph/5V8sR https://vaccinechoicecanada.com/about-vaccines/informed-consent-mature-minor-ethics/school-vaccination-clinics-informed-consent/ also mentions the "Mature Minor doctrine" is incorporated into the act.

I'm just doing quick searches in the act's text, but I can't find any statement on those younger than 16 being able to consent. Only many instances of being able to consent after "attaining 16 years of age."

There may be a bullshit argument that I've seen elsewhere that if the child is at school, that means the guardian has consented, even without a notice being sent out or a document signed.
