Back-to-School Immunizations: Is Your Child Up to Date?
As your family gets ready for a new school year, it’s a good time to check that your child’s routine immunizations are up to date.
Following Alberta’s recommended childhood immunization schedule helps provide the best protection by giving vaccines at the ages and stages when they are most effective. If your child has missed a vaccine or is behind schedule, it’s not too late to catch up.
Have questions about your child’s immunizations? Your primary care provider can help. They can review your child’s immunization history, answer your questions and help you understand which vaccines are recommended and when.
You can also check your child’s immunization status or book an appointment by calling Health Link at 811.
