Vaccine Report Card
A growing divide: some provinces leading, others pulling back
The last three years reveal a troubling divide: whilst some jurisdictions are stepping up protections, others are making decisions that leave vulnerable residents exposed.
This year’s expanded assessment covers three respiratory illness seasons and includes new scoring that better matches today’s immunization landscape.
Key Takeaways
- Prince Edward Island scored top marks with an A+, setting the national standard for comprehensive adult immunisation
- Nova Scotia achieved second place with an A-, dramatically improved from F in 2023-24
- New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Yukon tied for third place with B+
- Alberta introduced a $100 administrative fee for COVID-19 vaccines this season
- Quebec also plans to restrict universal access to COVID-19 vaccines starting fall 2025
- British Columbia, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut received the lowest grades (D+ and F)
- Shingles vaccine funding remains inconsistent despite overwhelming evidence of effectiveness
