National Immunization Week starts tomorrow and runs through next Saturday. Two new publicly funded vaccines will be available in New Brunswick this year: one against Rotavirus in June, the other against HPV in September. The latter is already given to Grade 7 girls, but now boys will get it too and a better vaccine will replace the current one.
