Preventive vaccines| Easier access to support health and financial wellbeing

Group Insurance November 20, 2025

Vaccination protects health and helps prevent diseases with potentially serious effects. It helps Canadian organizations avoid up to 12 million hours of time off work every year1. It also reduces healthcare and productivity costs by more than $2.5 billion nationwide2.

Vaccination is not only about health: it is a cornerstone of prevention and an investment in everyone’s health and financial wellbeing. Offering preventive vaccine coverage is therefore a winning strategy for organizations. 

 

Preventive vaccine coverage included in our basic group insurance offer

As of May 29, all group insurance proposals and contracts include preventive vaccine coverage, with an annual reimbursement limit of $250 per insured individual. Plan administrators who want to increase this coverage can do so.

For existing clients, we offer preventive vaccine coverage at the time of renewal. However, it is possible to request the addition of this coverage at any time. The Account Executive will then issue an amendment to the contract.
