New app for tracking own immunizations
ImmunizeCA, a mobile app funded by the public health agency of Canada to help Canadians store and manage their families’ vaccination records, enters phase two with new funding.
The app currently provides access to vaccination schedules based on information specific to people’s home province or territory, and to reliable, expert-approved information about vaccinations for children, adults and travellers. It also offers tools such as appointment reminders and local outbreak notifications.
Phase two will involve securing access to information, more functions such as browser access for other devices, integration with provincial records, customizable schedules for individuals with health conditions, and catch-up schedules for newcomers to Canada.
