Each year, the Canadian Sentinel Practitioner Surveillance Network (SPSN) looks at how well the annual influenza vaccine works in preventing influenza infections that require a medical visit. A mid-season analysis published this week found that people who were immunized against influenza were 40% less likely to require medical care for the dominant strain of influenza A this respiratory season, compared to people who did not receive the vaccine.

Immunization schedules tell you which vaccines your child should get and when.

Young children are at higher risk of getting very sick from communicable diseases. Following BC’s recommended immunization schedule gives your child the best protection when they need it most. Your child may get immunized against multiple diseases when you visit the clinic to protect them early in life.

Vaccines have saved more lives in the last 50 years than any other health measure.
