🌟 Exciting News for Families in PEI! 🌟

Over the past several months, our team at the UPEI Health Research Network has been working to develop a vaccine resource curriculum that aims to support families in PEI with making informed decisions about vaccines. Covering all recommended childhood and respiratory vaccines in PEI, this resource includes essential topics like the science behind recommended vaccines, their importance, and tips to ease vaccine-related fears and pain.

📚 Dive into a wealth of information vetted by the PEI Chief Public Health Office and a Family Advisory Council, in partnership with the Chances Family Centre.

📂 Access the vaccine resource curriculum here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mPtES1Ln3FRnXnFWaWyTg9vj0sBFlcEQ
