Childhood vaccines

Even as an adult, you can benefit from receiving vaccines you might have missed as a child or teen. 

Here is a list of vaccines offered during childhood and teenage years that you could still benefit from as an adult if you missed them:

• Diphtheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough (Pertussis)

• Hepatitis B (for those born in 1989 or later)

• Meningococcal disease (for those born between 1995 or later)

• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (for those born in 1970 or later)

• Chickenpox (varicella) (for those born in 1995 or later)

If you aren’t sure if you received all of your recommended immunizations, you can ask your doctor to check, call your local public health office, or request your immunization record online through Manitoba Health.
