Presentation transcript:

Many immigrants are susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases upon arrival in Canada. Evidence indicates that 30%–50% of new immigrants are susceptible to tetanus. Immunity against diphtheria is low among immigrants – 35% to 50%.1 Vaccinating children against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and polio have dramatically reduced the incidence of these illnesses (92% to 99.9%) and have almost completely eliminated resulting deaths.1 Implications Canadian Immigrant Health Guidelines recommend that all immigrant children with missing or uncertain vaccination records be vaccinated using age-appropriate vaccination for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and polio.1 For the Canadian Immigrant Health Guidelines, follow this link (http://profile.cich.ca/en/index.php/chapter4/section-3-priority-health-conditions-among-immigrant-children-and-youth/381). 1Pottie K, Greenaway C, Feightner J, et al.
