Based on the new criteria for immunization, Eastern Health has revised its immunization clinic schedule.

The schedule previously posted on the Eastern Health website and advertised in local papers is no longer applicable.

Until noted otherwise, we will be posting schedules on a day-by-day basis.

Please note that these clinics address individuals who fall in the following high risk categories:

-Children six months up to fifty-nine months of age (under 5)
-People five years of age up to and including 24 years of age with chronic conditions
-Pregnant women in the second half of their pregnancy (20 to 40 weeks)
-Parents or other primary care providers (up to two per child) of children under the age of six
months; and of immuno-compromised children and young adults (up to and including 24 years of age) who cannot themselves be vaccinated.


Those who do not fall under one of the high risk categories listed above are requested to wait until later in the vaccination schedule to receive their vaccine.
