B.C. Immunization Schedules
Immunizations, also known as vaccinations, are important for people of all ages. They help your immune system recognize and quickly kill bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illness or death.
The B.C. Immunization Schedule lists all the vaccines that are provided free to residents of B.C., and can help you determine when you or your family needs to be immunized.
