Immunizations
Immunization is the single most cost-effective health investment, making it a cornerstone in the effort to promote health. One hundred years ago, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide. In Canada, they now cause less than 5% of all deaths – thanks to immunization programs across the country.
TWU offers a number of vaccinations. To make an appointment to discuss your immunization history and your present needs with our nurse, please book an Immunization appointment online or give us a call at 604-513-2024.
