Immunization

Disease prevention is key to public health. It is better to prevent than to treat a disease. Vaccines save lives and prevent illness and disability. Immunization protects the people who receive them and those with whom they come in contact.

Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in this country and around the world, including polio, diphtheria, tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), measles, rubella (German measles), and mumps. Over the years vaccines have prevented countless cases of infectious diseases and saved millions of lives.

Vaccines in Winnipeg Regional Health Authority

Publicly funded vaccines are available from multiple health care providers in the Winnipeg Health Region.

Vaccines are offered in settings that include public health units, physicians' offices, institutions and schools.

  • Routine early childhood and adult immunizations (see link below for schedules)   These vaccines are primarily provided by private physicians, primary care clinics and nurse practitioners.
  • School based immunization services (see link below for schedules) – These vaccines are primarily provided by public health nurses in schools. Programs are offered in grade 6 and 8.
  • Annual influenza immunizations – All Manitobans are eligible for influenza vaccine. Many different providers offer influenza vaccine including private physicians, primary care clinics, nurse practitioners and pharmacists.. Public Health hosts public influenza immunization clinics every October. Influenza immunization is also offered in hospitals, personal care homes, workplace clinics, as well as other settings such as pharmacies.

PHIMS

PHIMS is an integrated electronic public health record which includes an immunization registry. This system maintains immunization records for all Manitobans registered with Manitoba Health. Routine immunizations provided by physicians and public health are included in PHIMS. Other providers may also submit immunization records for entry into PHIMS. Some vaccines may not be included if they are not funded routinely. For example, vaccines provided for travel or work purposes may not be entered. If you are new to Manitoba, contact your local public health office to have your previous immunization records entered into PHIMS.  Immunization reminder letters are mailed to parents/guardians of young children if children are missing immunizations based on the information recorded/entered into PHIMS.

If you or your child has received immunizations outside of Manitoba and you have a record of the immunization(s), contact your local public health office to arrange to have the immunization(s) added to the provincial immunization registry.
