As of June 24, 2016, immunization records from across Alberta will be available through the Alberta Netcare Portal. Previously, this data was only available from the Edmonton area.
At the click of a button, authorized clinical users will be able to view their patients’ immunization records and determine if their immunizations are up to date. Users can expect to see immunization details including: date, vaccine/antigen, and service location. This data will help immunizers, primary care providers, emergency clinicians, and specialists make clinical decisions.
The immunization records come from Alberta Health Services (publicly-funded vaccine and some travel clinics) and community pharmacies (influenza vaccine). Immunization data from Alberta Health Services facilities goes back 20-50 years, and data from pharmacies goes back 6-10 years.
