Did you know? Some vaccines require more than one dose to be considered complete.

Even if your child received some vaccines, their record may still be incomplete if all required doses were not reported. Check your child’s immunization record, report all doses to Lambton Public Health and stay up to date and avoid school suspension.

Report online through ICON today: https://lambtonpublichealth.ca/immunization/children-and-youth/

Questions? Call 519-383-8331.
