Disruption in regular immunizations an unintended consequence of COVID-19

Parents of Kindergarten, Grade 6, and Grade 9 students may want to be aware of the interruption to routine immunizations and catch-up opportunities for missed vaccines.

COVID-19 has caused the disruption and has also led to a pause in the plan to move forward with BC’s new Vaccination Status Reporting Regulation.
