Prairie Mountain Health is promoting immunization because it protects individuals and communities by preventing the spread of diseases.
National Immunization Week started on Saturday and goes until this Saturday, April 28.
Dr. Khodaveisi, Medical Officer of Health, tells 730 CKDM, that the number of vaccines is increasing.
“The numbers and the percentage of people getting immunizations are increasing.”
Statistics show that in 2014, 11 thousand children in Manitoba received all their immunizations.
