Cytomegalovirus Vaccine (CMV) Study
HAVE YOU BEEN ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLINICAL TRIAL?
Who We Are
Established in 1988, the Vaccine Evaluation Center (VEC) is an academic center of excellence involved in vaccine and immunization research. Our goal is to help ensure that BC and Canada have the highest quality immunization programs.
The center is separate from government and vaccine manufacturers and provides independent, expert, vaccine evaluations to help select and build the best vaccines and immunization programs.

Mapping Vaccine hesitancy in Canada
We are interested in learning more about the doubts or concerns some parents with children 5 years old or younger have about recommended childhood vaccinations.
Vaccinating Children after ALL Treatment
Children are being invited to take part in a study to determine how well children who have completed treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) respond to vaccines against childhood illnesses. Children who have been treated for ALL usually lose their immunity to childhood illnesses and require re-vaccination.
Special Immunization Clinic
This study will collect information about adverse reactions following immunization from patients attending the Special Immunization Clinic. The information collected will help build standard care plans that guide doctors as they care for patients with adverse reactions.
