More details now on a story we brought you earlier in the week:
There's a new way to protect your baby against pneumococcal disease.
Dr. Paul Van Buynder says Prevnar-13 is a new vaccine being offered in the province that protects against 13 different strains of bacterial infection.
Van Buynder says there have been 40 severe cases of pneumococcal disease in the province over the last three years.
The vaccine is funded for children who are eight weeks to 12 months old starting July 1st.
