Vaccine for Pregnant Women Available

The Northwestern Health Unit has received its first shipment of unadjuvanted vaccine reserved for pregnant women.

The health unit is making the vaccine available only by appointment through its local offices.

Priority will be given to pregnant women without access to a family doctor, those with pre-existing health conditions and healthy pregnant women in the second half of their pregnancy.

Healthy pregnant women in the first half of their pregnancy may be asked to wait until a second shipment arrives.
