Canada’s top doctor says efforts are underway to computerize vaccination records across the country.
Doctor Gregory Taylor, the Chief Public Officer of Health for Canada, tells our talk show Maclens on the Hill they are making sure each province’s systems will be able to work with each other, so physicians across Canada can access their patients data.
“When you are collecting information about who gets vaccinated, if you collect the same type of information in a format you can share and roll up, that is the goal. Ultimately, it does not matter what software what individual provinces use, as long as you can communicate with each other and we can roll up a national picture at our level.”
Doctor Taylor adds they even now have an app where people can record vaccinations on their phone, rather than having to use those little yellow cards.
