Includes seasonal and routine vaccines

Immunizations protect against a range of preventable illnesses, and they matter at every age — not just in childhood. Keeping your vaccinations up to date is one of the most effective and well-established parts of preventive care.

Vaccines across the lifespan

Routine immunizations begin in childhood and continue through adulthood, with certain vaccines recommended at particular ages or for particular circumstances. Your physician can review your history, identify any gaps, and advise what's recommended for you now.

Seasonal and situational vaccines

Beyond routine schedules, some vaccines are recommended seasonally or based on your health, age, or other circumstances. A short conversation helps make sure you're covered for your situation.

How iCollab helps

Your family doctor can review and update your immunizations as part of your regular care. Ask at your next visit, or book specifically to get up to date.

For current public immunization schedules and eligibility in BC, your physician can advise based on the latest provincial guidance.
