National Immunization Awareness Month

Theme: Don’t let history repeat itself. Protect your future. Get immunized.

Not that many decades ago, there was no way to protect yourself from devastating diseases such as polio, tetanus, diphtheria, and meningitis – or wildly contagious infections such as measles. Outcomes were inescapably tragic. Lifelong paralysis. Stillbirth. Neurodegenerative disease. Encephalitis. Even death.

Vaccines changed this landscape. As time progressed, more and more diseases became preventable by vaccination, and health outcomes greatly improved.

We don’t want to turn the clock back to former times.

**Immunize Canada & Vaccine Ambassadors champion everyone staying up to date on all recommended vaccinations, so that they can live healthier lives protected against preventable diseases.**

Tristan – The impact of HPV

Tristan lost his father to HPV-induced squamous cell carcinoma at just 50 years old. Now, he’s committed to raising awareness.

“It wasn’t until after my dad passed that I understood his cancer was vaccine-preventable,” he says. “HPV is the most common STI, but people don’t understand how serious it can be.”

Jessica – The risk of RSV for newborns

When Jessica’s son Eitan was just four weeks old, he contracted respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV can become very serious for newborns, and Eitan ended up in the ICU on a ventilator.

“Our stay in hospital was two weeks long, and we were very close to losing him,” she says. “The trauma doesn’t go away.”

Dr. Cora Constantinescu – Protecting our children

Dr. Cora Constantinescu, a pediatrician and infectious disease specialist, is concerned about the decline in vaccine confidence among Canadians.

“It’s a crisis for children’s health,” she says. “Until parents understand the threat of vaccine-preventable diseases in a personal way, they aren’t likely to change their behaviour.”
