Immunization

Grade 7 Immunization Program

School immunization nurses will return to elementary schools this April to June to provide round two, for the three free vaccines for grade 7 students - hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV), and meningococcal (Men-C-ACYW).  Information and details for the upcoming school-based clinics will be provided through your child's school and a list of school clinics is also provided below.

If your child is not attending school in person or will be absent on the scheduled clinic date, vaccinations can be received at a health unit office by appointment.

Due to clinic demands/capacity, students who are currently in grade 7, need to try and have their vaccines completed at the school clinic prior to booking an appointment.

Making a child’s vaccination experience better and decreasing the amount of pain they may feel is very important. If a child has a bad experience getting a vaccine they may not trust their healthcare provider and may not want to get other vaccines or health care when needed in the future.

There are many things that can decrease pain and lessen stress and anxiety for children and their parents. Using a numbing cream, giving children a chance to ask questions, and informing them about what to expect, letting them choose ways they can be most comfortable when getting a vaccine can help make children’s vaccination experience uneventful and even positive.
