Doug Ford cabinet halts rule on doctors reporting immunizations

Jul 07, 2018

A new rule that would have required doctors and nurses to report all immunizations they give to children has been put on hold by the new government of Premier Doug Ford.

It’s a sign of the repeated delays in Ontario’s attempts to create a province-wide computerized system for tracking children’s vaccination records.

The rule was part of a bill passed last year to amend Ontario’s Immunization of School Pupils Act. The change meant doctors and nurses would have to inform public health units about each child they vaccinate.

It was set to kick in on July 1, but the Ford cabinet halted it during its meeting two days earlier, in response to complaints from the lobby group for doctors.

“The Ontario Medical Association raised concerns with the current schedule for integrating immunization records with other health care partners,” said Ford spokesperson Simon Jefferies in a statement provided to CBC News on Friday.
