Overview
The New Brunswick Immunization Program provides vaccines through routine, high risk and communicable disease response programs. Competent immunization providers are the cornerstone of the Immunization Program.
The New Brunswick Immunization Program Guide outlines legislation, policies and standards necessary in the provision of safe, effective and competent immunization practice. The guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the New Brunswick Respiratory Season Guide and the Canadian Immunization Guide. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization also provides recommendations and vaccination guidance.
