Report your child's Vaccination Record
to your Public Health Unit

Healthcare providers and schools do not submit vaccination records to the public health unit. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA), parents are responsible for ensuring their children's vaccinations and vaccination records are up-to-date. As a parent, it is also your responsibility to report your children's records to the public health unit.

You may need your vaccination records for: 

  • Traveling to countries where the diseases are common
  • Going for emergency healthcare
  • Going to summer camp
  • Transferring to a new school in another area (when your child is older)
  • Starting daycare or kindergarten

Report all your child's vaccinations to <ph-name>. This includes those given by your healthcare provider. <ph-name> keeps a record of your child's vaccinations to help protect public safety. This is important if there is ever a disease outbreak.

Eligibility Criteria

  • You must be using CANImmunize version 3.0.0 and up on an iOS or Android device
  • Your child must be less than 16 years of age

How do I report my child's immunization information without CANImmunize?
