“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.
