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.

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.
