Don't Wait, Vaccinate!

When should I immunize my child?

Timing is very important when it comes to immunization. Vaccines work best when given on time; beginning when your child is still very young, as your child is most vulnerable to disease during the first two years of life.

An immunization schedule will tell you which immunization to get for your child and at what age. Following the schedule will make sure that your child gets the most benefit from the vaccines.

Immunization schedules are different depending on which province or territory you live in.

Click on the province or territory you live in for the appropriate immunization schedule.
