The Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) has released data indicating that vaccination rates among children in Quebec have not changed significantly, despite the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This announcement comes as many students prepare to return to school for the new academic year. The data indicates that vaccination coverage for essential vaccines required for school attendance has remained stable, suggesting that efforts to promote immunization within the province have been successful. Public health experts have noted the importance of maintaining high vaccination rates to protect not only individual health but also public health overall. The stability in vaccination rates can be attributed to ongoing public health campaigns and engagement with families to encourage immunisation during a challenging period for healthcare services stemming from the pandemic.
