With spring break on the horizon, people are being reminded to make sure immunizations are up to date before they travel.

With spring break coming up from March 17–28 in most school districts, the Provincial Health Officer, BC Centre for Disease Control, and public health officials are reminding B.C. residents to check their family’s immunization records before travelling, to ensure that everyone is up to date on their immunizations.
