My child is afraid of needles. Are there options for them to get vaccinated other than at school?

Children who don’t feel comfortable getting vaccinated at school or would like extra support can get vaccinated at their local *health unit. Some family doctors also provide vaccines. 

 

Use these tips to help your school-age child or teen have a more positive vaccination experience.  

 

Find a health unit near you. 

 

*Health units are also called public health units, community health centres, or primary care homes in some areas of BC.
