“Program Will Take Stab at Reducing Chickenpox” Calgary
Herald (www.calgaryherald.com)
(03/12/01)
Starting this spring, chickenpox vaccinations will be
added to the routine immunization program in Alberta, Canada. This summer, all one-year-old children who
have not already had the chickenpox will get immunizations, and plans are being
drawn up to immunize children who are starting school. The province has allocated C$6 million per
year for the next three fiscal years to carry out the vaccination effort.
