Canada has many systems in place to make sure the vaccines we give our children are safe. Risks linked with routine childhood vaccines occur much less often and are far less severe than the risks linked with the actual disease we are trying to prevent. The health of our children is very important and as a parent you play a central role in maintaining your child’s health.
We want you to be able to make an informed choice about immunizing your child. There are many ways to find this information. It is important that the information you receive is providing both risks and benefits. Make sure all of your questions are answered.
Vaccine information can be found with great ease on the internet. It may not be accurate or correct and can include scary stories and false information.
