Question:

Answer: 

There is an agreement across Canada to provide immunization services to any out-of-province visitor according to that province’s immunization schedule. That means if you are eligible for the HPV vaccine in the province you are in, you would be able to get it for free. You can check with the local public health unit about eligibility.
