ImmunizeBC is recommending that physicians who provide routine childhood vaccinations contact the parents of their young patients to bring their vaccines up to date. The BCCDC has developed a document for physicians (Continuity, Prioritization and Safe Delivery of Immunization Services During COVID-19 Response) which provides guidance on infant and childhood immunization programs, as well as those for adults. Priority immunizations are the infant series, including the doses beginning at 2 months of age, and the 12-month doses.

Physicians who do not usually provide immunization services directly but have pediatric or high-risk adult patients in their practice can encourage parents and others to continue with immunization services through their local health unit.
