Vaccines (needles or baby shots) are the best way to protect against some very serious infections. The Canadian Paediatric Society and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) strongly recommend routine immunization.

cPDT Polio + Hib vaccine is a five in one needle. It protects children against pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio and serious diseases like meningitis caused by the Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) bacteria. Both the cPDT Polio and Hib vaccines are also available as separate needles. Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and polio is required by law for all children attending school in Ontario (unless exempted).
