Vaccine coverage amongst adult Canadians: Results from the 2012 adult National Immunization Coverage (aNIC) survey

Since 2001, the Public Health Agency of Canada (the Agency) routinely monitors national immunization coverage for select adult immunizations through the adult National Immunization Coverage Survey (aNICS). Results from these surveys are used to monitor progress towards national targets for immunization coverage, to report immunization coverage estimates to international organizations, to improve planning for pandemic influenza and to develop appropriately targeted public education strategies.
