In 2023, around 39 percent of Canadians reported receiving an influenza immunization in the past year. The year 2020 saw the highest share of Canadians receiving an influenza immunization in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic and the increased awareness of health and virus transmission that it brought may have motivated more people in Canada to receive a flu vaccination in 2020 than in recent years. Flu vaccinations in Canada The Canadian government recommends that everyone six months and older should get a yearly flu vaccination. The vaccine is safe and effective and is easily accessible in Canada. However, although the flu vaccination is the best defense against catching and spreading the flu, many Canadians still choose not to receive the vaccination. For example, a survey from 2020, found that only around 48 percent of Canadians stated they planned to get an influenza vaccination that year. The same survey also asked U.S. adults about their plans to receive an influenza vaccination that year, with around 53 percent stating they planned on getting one. Deaths from influenza Although influenza may seem like a relatively harmless virus to many, influenza and pneumonia are in fact the 10th leading cause of death in Canada. Older adults and those with preexisting health conditions such as cancer and heart disease are some of the groups most at risk of dying from influenza and pneumonia. In 2021, the death rate for influenza and pneumonia in Canada was about 10.8 per 100,000 population, a decrease from recent years. It is important to remember that when receiving an influenza vaccination, one is not only protecting oneself, but also helping to minimize the chances of other people catching the virus.

As of December 2020, around 54 percent of respondents in British Columbia said that they would get vaccinated for COVID-19 as soon as a vaccine becomes available, a 16 percentage increase from around 38 percent who said the same between November 12-16. Similarly, around 47 percent of respondents in Alberta also said they would get vaccinated as of December, compared to only 32 percent between November 12-16. There is a general increase in the willingness to get vaccinated for COVID-19 as soon as a vaccine becomes available across all provinces. This statistic shows the percentage change in Canadian respondents' willingness to get vaccinated if a COVID-19 vaccine became available between November 12-16 and December 8-11, 2020, by province.

Date created: Data first uploaded to Open Ottawa on August 11, 2021.Update frequency: Every 4 weeksAccuracy - Points of consideration for interpretation of the data:Data extracted by Ottawa Public Health from COVaxON, the Ontario provincial repository for vaccinations administered in Ontario and to residents of Ontario, using intellihealth Ontario. COVaxON is a dynamic system that allows for continuous updates. Because these data are a snapshot in time and reflect the most accurate information that OPH has at the time of reporting, the data presented may differ from previous and subsequent reports. A vaccinated individual is attributed to an Ottawa Neighbourhood Study (ONS) neighbourhood based on their postal code and, if postal code is missing, on their address, if available. Residents with a postal code that straddles more than one neighbourhood are allocated to neighbourhoods based on the relative size of the population residing in each of the straddled neighbourhoods. If there is no postal code or address information for an individual believed to reside in Ottawa, the resident is not attributed to a neighbourhood. For this reason, the number of first doses administered by neighbourhood does not sum to the total number of first doses administered among all Ottawa residents. In rural settings, the geographic boundaries of postal codes may span multiple health units. Since a client cannot be shared between health units, each postal code is attributed to a specific health unit by the Ministry of Health. This can cause artificially higher or lower vaccination rates in rural neighbourhoods as some non-Ottawa residents will be attributed to rural Ottawa neighbourhoods and some rural Ottawa residents will be attributed to other health units (i.e., excluded from our Ottawa resident counts. For these reasons, we are continuously monitoring and reviewing neighbourhood attributions in rural neighbourhoods using a client’s residential address, when available, and working with neighbouring health units to identify incorrectly attributed clients.Estimates of the number of residents 5 years of age and older (5+) and 18 years of age and older (18+), by ONS neighbourhood, are based on data provided by ICES using the Registered Persons Database (RPDB), which has basic demographic information for anyone who has an Ontario health card number and had contact with the health care system within 9 years or contact within 3 years for individuals 65 years and older. These estimates reflect the neighbourhood populations as of September 1, 2021.Estimation of these neighbourhood populations was provided by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), which is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health. Parts of this material are based on data and information compiled and provided by Ontario Ministry of Health, the Canadian Institute for Health Information and Public Health Ontario. The analyses, conclusions, opinions and statements expressed herein are solely those of the authors and do not reflect those of ICES, the OHDP, the funding or data sources; no endorsement is intended or should be inferred.The total 2020 5+ and 18+ population for Ottawa is based on the 2020 estimate from the 2016 Canadian Census and was downloaded from IntelliHealth, Ontario Ministry of Health, on November 29, 2021. Because of the different population data sources, neighbourhood populations and vaccinations will not sum to the totals for Ottawa.Rates with smaller populations are less stable and should be interpreted with caution.Attributes - Data fields:ONS_ID: Ottawa Neighbourhood Study neighbourhood ID number ONS_NAME: Ottawa Neighbourhood Study neighbourhood nameICES_POP_5plus: Number of residents 5 years of age or olderNum_dose1: Number of residents 5 years of age or older who have received at least one dose of vaccinePerc_eligible_dose1: Percent of residents 5 years of age or older who have received at least one dose of vaccineNum_fullyvacc: Number of residents 5 years of age or older who are fully vaccinated (i.e., have received two doses of a two-dose series or a single Johnson & Johnson vaccine)Perc_eligible_fullyvacc: Percent of residents 5 years of age or older who are fully vaccinated (i.e., have received two doses of a two-dose series or a single Johnson & Johnson vaccine)ICES_POP_18plus: Number of residents 18 years of age or olderNum_booster: Number of residents 18 years of older who have received a booster dose of vaccine Perc_eligible_boostervacc: Percent of residents 18 years of age or older who have received a booster doseAuthor: OPH Epidemiology Team & Ottawa Neighbourhood Study TeamAuthor email: OPH-Epidemiology@ottawa.caMaintainer Organization: Epidemiology & Evidence, Ottawa Public Health

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect our families, communities and ourselves against COVID-19. Evidence indicates that vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19, including against Alpha and Delta variants of concern. However, there’s a small percentage of the population who are vaccinated that will still be infected with COVID-19 if they’re exposed to the virus.

According to the data, 97 percent of parents felt that vaccines were safe and believed vaccines helped to protect their child's health as of 2021. This statistic depicts the percentage of parents in Canada who had select opinions on vaccines in 2021.

BackgroundVaccine hesitancy threatens efforts to bring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to an end. Given that social or interpersonal contact is an important driver for COVID-19 transmission, understanding the relationship between contact rates and vaccine hesitancy may help identify appropriate targets for strategic intervention. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between interpersonal contact and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among a sample of unvaccinated adults in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC).MethodsUnvaccinated individuals participating in the BC COVID-19 Population Mixing Patterns Survey (BC-Mix) were asked to indicate their level of agreement to the statement, “I plan to get the COVID-19 vaccine.” Multivariable multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the association between self-reported interpersonal contact and vaccine hesitancy, adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, educational attainment, occupation, household size and region of residence. All analyses incorporated survey sampling weights based on age, sex, geography, and ethnicity.ResultsResults were based on survey responses collected between March 8, 2021 and December 6, 2021, by a total of 4,515 adults aged 18 years and older. Overall, 56.7% of respondents reported that they were willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, 27.0% were unwilling and 16.3% were undecided. We found a dose-response association between interpersonal contact and vaccine hesitancy. Compared to individuals in the lowest quartile (least contact), those in the fourth quartile (highest contact), third quartile and second quartile groups were more likely to be vaccine hesitant, with adjusted odd ratios (aORs) of 2.85 (95% CI: 2.02, 4.00), 1.91(95% CI: 1.38, 2.64), 1.78 (95% CI: 1.13, 2.82), respectively.ConclusionStudy findings show that among unvaccinated people in BC, vaccine hesitancy is greater among those who have high contact rates, and hence potentially at higher risk of acquiring and transmitting infection. This may also impact future uptake of booster doses.

Ontario’s Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires that students who attend elementary and secondary school be vaccinated against nine designated diseases or have a valid medical, religious or conscience exemption provided to their local public health unit to avoid suspension from school. This includes vaccinations for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis (whooping cough), meningococcal and varicella (chicken pox). As a result, each year Toronto Public Health staff work with schools located in the City of Toronto to assess student immunization records to ensure that all students are a) up-to-date with their required immunization and/or b) a valid exemption for philosophical or medical reasons is provided, in accordance with the ISPA. Toronto Public Health also offers hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV) and meningococcal vaccines to grade 7 and 8 students at school clinics through the School Immunization Program (SIP). This data represents Immunization Coverage Rates and exemptions for School pupils (7-17 year olds) in Toronto for the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 school years. For the 2023/2024 school year, this data represents the immunization coverage rates and exemptions for ISPA vaccines for school pupils in grade 2 and grade 12 and the immunization coverage rates for SIP vaccines for school pupils in grade 8 and grades 10-12.

Healthcare worker influenza immunization rates represents the influenza immunization rates for healthcare workers within the Nova Scotia Health Authority and the IWK. The rates are collected and reported annually by the health authorities. Healthcare workers who get the flu vaccine provide a layer of protection to themselves and to patients from getting influenza and help prevent influenza outbreaks. Measuring, monitoring, and reporting the rate of healthcare worker influenza immunization can assist hospitals with evaluating the effectiveness of their occupational health/infection prevention and control programs and explore ways to increase the number of healthcare workers who get the flu shot. Data fields include: Year, Health Authority, Health Authority Zone, Immunization Rate, Provincial Target
