Northern B.C. parents will get personalized letters regarding their children’s vaccination status next month.
Northern Health will be sending out personalized letters to the parents and guardians of school age children, regarding their current vaccination status.
“Students will be offered the opportunity to catch up on vaccines that are missing, and/or to update their vaccination record,” Northern Health chief medical health officer Dr. Jong Kim wrote in a letter to parents on Monday. “Letters will not be sent to who are up-to-date with all recommended immunizations, nor to students in Grades 6 and 9, as the records of students in those grades were reviewed earlier in the school year and communications from Northern Health were sent at that time.
