- Immunization uptake and barriers for children with immunocompromising conditions
- Strategies for improving vaccine uptake for hospitalized children
- Vaccine uptake for children receiving government child intervention services
- Ensuring protection from vaccine-preventable disease for children upon entry to school
- COVID-19 vaccine uptake among international immigrants to Alberta
- COVID-19 vaccine uptake and its determinants among Alberta children
- Interruptions in routine immunization programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic
- Uptake and determinants of uptake for HPV vaccine in populations under-served by routine programs
