This year we celebrate National Immunization Week with the theme "Let's catch up with confidence." This theme serves as a reminder to the public that all vaccines in Canada are safe, effective, and provide the necessary protection against many diseases and illnesses, and that there's no time like the present to catch up with routine immunizations.
 

During this week, we celebrate advances in modern health thanks to the creation of life-saving immunizations and the leading role that nurses play in immunization research, uptake, and delivery.
