When to Get Immunized
Routine vaccines are provided by Public Health and other health-care providers throughout Saskatchewan. Immunizations have saved more lives in Canada in the last 50 to 60 years than any other health measure. On-time and on schedule immunizations provide the best protection against vaccine-preventable diseases and keep Saskatchewan's residents healthy, safe and protected.
