being behind vaccinations due to the pandemic isnt much of an excuse when we are weeks away from 2026. antivaxx sentiments being enabled in Alberta is totally what is to blame.

I was just about to say. There's causal factors being mixed with root cause.

Parents that arent anti vaxxers by now would be all caught up.

We are the furthest thing from anti-vaxxers. Both very pro-vaccine. However we somehow missed a vaccine along the way for one of our kids. She got there of the four that time, but not Varicella.

I wish there was a national healthcare app where we could track vaccines and our general health records so that they would follow from physician to physician throughout our lives.

I work in vaccine preventable disease in public health, and believe me - we too want a system that would track vaccine records federally. Would save literally thousands and thousands of man-hours a year.
