Moose Jaw’s Mayor Tolmie recently signed a proclamation for National Immunization Awareness Week, April 20 to 27, 2019, alongside representatives from the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
This is a week profiling the importance of immunization and increasing public awareness.
Immunization doesn’t just protect the people who get immunized — it protects those around them too.
When the majority of the people in a community are immunized against a disease, it greatly reduces the chances of that disease spreading in the community, protecting people such as infants who are too young to be immunized and those who are not able to get immunized due to medical reasons.
