Immunization - Infant and Preschool Services
Alberta Health Services - Provincial Health Services
- Description
- Provides immunization for infants and preschool children at Community / Public Health Centres across Alberta.
Alberta Health Services provides routine immunization for infants and children across Alberta. Immunizations are free of charge for infants and children who live in Alberta.
Immunizations are recommended for infants starting at 2 months of age. Routinely recommended vaccines include: diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis B, rotavirus, meningococcal, pneumococcal, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chickenpox), and influenza.For the routine immunization schedule, go to immunizealberta.ca.
Additional vaccines may be needed depending on your child's health conditions or other risk factors.
Immunization is effective. Other than providing safe drinking water, no other health intervention works as well as immunization to reduce disease and death rates. Immunization protects whole communities. The more people who are fully immunized in a community, the safer everyone is.
Immunization is safe. It is much safer to get immunized than to get the diseases that vaccines protect against.
For more information, and to book an appointment, call your nearest community/public health centre. If you are not sure where your nearest community/public health centre is, call Health Link at 811. Bring your child's immunization record to the appointment, especially if your child was immunized in another province or country.
