Streamline Your Child’s Vaccination Records with CANImmunize!

Keeping track of your child’s vaccinations can be a daunting task in our busy lives. Fortunately, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has unveiled a game-changing solution that puts the power in your hands: the CANImmunize mobile app!

With CANImmunize, parents can now report their child’s routine immunizations quickly and securely from their smartphones, eliminating the hassle of paperwork and phone calls. This user-friendly app is an essential tool for families aiming to keep their children's vaccination records up-to-date in compliance with Ontario's Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA).

Traditionally, parents had to reach out to public health each time their child received a vaccine, as healthcare providers typically do not report vaccination data to public health directly. However, CANImmunize serves as a central hub for your family’s vaccination history, designed to ease this process. Think of it as your digital yellow card that’s always within reach!

The app offers a range of features that save time and keep families organized, including:

Features of CANImmunize

- Family Management: Manage vaccination records for every family member—no detail is too small! - Timely Reminders: Receive notifications for routine immunizations, travel vaccines, and other important updates throughout your lifetime. - Multi-Device Access: Access your records from different devices, ensuring they are always available when needed. - Secure Web Portal: For those who prefer managing records online, a secure web portal is also available.

One of the most exciting aspects for families in the Simcoe Muskoka area is the ability to share vaccination updates directly with the Health Unit. When you input your child’s vaccination details, the information is automatically updated in the health unit's records, ensuring that you are always in sync.

If you are already using the CANImmunize app, you will receive a prompt to consent to share your information with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit the next time you open the app.
