The purpose of this project is to enhance the overall foundation of public health evidence pertaining to vaccines in Alberta, and increase capacity of Alberta policy-makers to make evidence-based decisions regarding immunization policy and programs to reduce the burden of vaccine preventable disease.
This project focuses on:
- Assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on routine vaccine uptake
- Evaluating vaccine coverage and determinants of coverage among populations who have unique needs (e.g. pregnant people, Indigenous populations, immigrant populations)
- Evaluating the impact of immunization policy and practice on vaccine coverage
