Register kids' vaccinations: health experts

OTTAWA – Canada needs a national vaccination registry so no child misses out on being immunized, a public health group says.

The Canadian Public Health Association says a registry would help the government track how many people across the country have been vaccinated, as well as whether children who move between provinces are up to date on their shots.

In a report to be released Monday, the association says Canada needs a national strategy, the core of which would be the registry and a co-ordinated vaccine schedule.

Experts who contributed to the report fear kids miss out on immunization if they move between provinces because some are on different schedules. Not all provinces pay for the same vaccines either, leaving out poor families in some areas.

There's also a need for a co-ordinated national campaign to counter anti-vaccine voices, the report says.
