What if my child misses one or more doses of a vaccine offered as part of the School Immunization Program; will he/she still be eligible?
Yes. If a child misses one or more doses of any school immunization program vaccines, the vaccine(s) can still be offered free-of-charge.
What do I do if a vaccine is missed?
You can call the Family Community Wellness Centre public health office and ask for your child’s immunizations to be reviewed by a public health nurse, then an appointment can be scheduled.
Why should my child get immunized?
Immunization is the best way to protect your child against serious, and potentially fatal infections. Vaccines help your child’s immune system to recognize and fight bacteria and viruses that cause disease.
Make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date by calling:
