Associations Between Psychological Factors of Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Vaccine Uptake in Métis Citizens in Ontario – A Population-based Data Linkage Study
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities and vulnerabilities among marginalized groups, particularly Indigenous Peoples in Canada. We assessed the influence of psychological antecedents of vaccine hesitancy on COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Métis in Ontario, Canada. Methods: The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) survey, a population-based online survey, was used to capture MNO citizens’ “5Cs” of psychological antecedents rel…
The impact of Covid-19 vaccine distribution channels on equity-deserving populations
Uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among equity-deserving populations was a challenge throughout the Canadian vaccination campaign. This necessitated the implementation of vaccine distribution strategies that targeted specific populations. As a result, different vaccine channels were introduced in each province. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of COVID-19 vaccine distribution channels on short-term vaccination rates amongst equity-des…
Characteristics of individuals who received a complete, 2-dose mpox vaccine regimen as part of the public health response to the mpox epidemic in Ontario, Canada
In May 2022, an outbreak of mpox emerged in Canada. In June 2022, the province of Ontario began offering first doses of a 2-dose regimen of Modified Vaccinia Ankara–Bavaria Nordic (MVA-BN) to those at high risk of exposure. Second doses became available in September 2022. To help increase dose 2 access and uptake, we sought to understand how individuals who received 2 doses differed from those who received only 1 dose. We conducted a cross-sectio…
Impact of a 10-year shift in ambient air quality on mortality in Canada
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies among children receiving primary care in Toronto, Ontario
Validating viral hepatitis B and C diagnosis codes
Exploring the reasons for low pertussis vaccine effectiveness in Ontario, Canada, 2006–2008
El Desarrollo Local. Teoría Y Práctica. Reintroducir Lo Humano en La Lógica Del Desarrollo
Using this epidemiologic approach, which can be applied to current and future pandemics, we have identified a variety of target drugs and drug classes that could offer therapeutic benefit in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may warrant further validation. Some of these agents (eg, fluoxetine) have already been identified for their therapeutic potential
Immunization information systems in Canada
Ethnic disparities in acquiring 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza
pH1N1 cases were more likely to come from certain ethnic groups compared to test-negative controls. Insights into whether these disparities arise due to social or biological factors are needed in order to understand what approaches can be taken to reduce the burden of a future influenza pandemic
On-time Vaccination Coverage in Premature Infants in Ontario, 2002–2009
Vaccination against 2009 pandemic H1N1 in a population dynamical model of Vancouver, Canada
Delays in vaccine production due to technological or logistical barriers may reduce potential benefits of vaccination for pandemic influenza, and these temporal effects can outweigh any additional theoretical benefits from population targeting. Careful modeling may provide decision makers with estimates of these effects before the epidemic peak to guide production goals and inform policy. Integration of real-time surveillance data with mathematic…
Factors associated with initiation and completion of the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine series in an ontario cohort of grade 8 girls
The current low level of HPV vaccine acceptance in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox, and Addington will likely have important implications in terms of the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of its publicly funded program. We identified important factors associated with series initiation and completion that should be considered in efforts to improve HPV vaccine use in this population
Approaches to Immunization Data Collection Employed Across Canada During the Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza Vaccination Campaign
Perceptions of immunization information systems for collecting pandemic H1N1 immunization data within Canada's public health community
IISs were perceived as valuable by key informants for strengthening management capacity and improving evaluation of both seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccination campaigns. However, certain implementation restrictions may need to be overcome for these benefits to be achieved
Perceptions of frontline staff regarding data collection methodologies used during the 2009 A H1N1 influenza immunization campaign in Canada
This study demonstrates that there may be a greater willingness of frontline immunization staff to adapt to new technologies than previously perceived by decision-makers. The public health community should recognize that usability may not be a barrier to implementing electronic methods for collecting individual-level immunization data
