To actually answer your question yes and if memory serves me correct you can be quarantined during an outbreak if you are not immunized according to the public health act, which is linked below.

I have never agreed with the right to refuse vaccinations. If you join the US military, they give you every vaccination around, including stuff we civilians never get.
In the USA, Supreme Court rulings have given Federal, State and Local authorities the right to impose vaccinations on everyone. The principle for their decision is based on the greater good to the community. It has been challenged several times, and all have failed.
My understanding that Canada has similar rules, but not being Canadian-centric, except knowing how to sing O'Canada.
