Rationale for school-based immunization delivery
• Provide a platform to reach adolescents• Adolescents have low HCP attendance1, especially males2
• Improve compliance/coverage of multiple-dose vaccines
• Immunize before onset of risk behaviours• Sexual debut, injection drug use, etc.

Benefits of school-based immunization delivery
• Cost-effectiveness as compared to HCP-delivered• Demonstrated for Hepatitis B1,2 and meningococcal conjugate3
• Convenience leading to increased coverage1
• Improved health equity?• Reverse gradient found for HPV vaccine uptake in BC4, not ON5
• Peer support at the time of vaccination6
• Opportunity to evaluate new schedules7

Ontario’s school-based immunization programs
• Hepatitis B vaccine (1994)• 2 dose program• Delivery in grade 7, extended eligibility until end of grade 8
• Invasive meningococcal disease (2005, MCV4 since 2009)• 1 dose (Men-C program for toddlers)• Delivery in grade 7, once eligible, always eligible
• Human papillomavirus (HPV, 2007)• 3 dose program• Delivery to grade 8 girls, extended eligibility until end of grade 12

National coverage targets
• Hepatitis B vaccine• Achieve and maintain 95% hepatitis B immunization of populations targeted in
universal programs by 1997
• Meningococcal conjugate vaccine• Coverage target of 90% for Men-C vaccine at age 17 by 2012• No coverage target specific to MCV4 vaccine
• HPV vaccine• Coverage targets of 80% within 2 years and 90% within 5 years

Methods
• June 2013: PHUs contacted to request coverage data• Immunizations received as of June 30, 2013 entered into the Immunization
Records Information System (IRIS)
• Coverage was expressed as the proportion of enrolled students who were assessed to be “complete for age” using IRIS logic• Assessed for each antigen and birth cohort
• Data validation with PHUs for 2010/11 to 2012/13 data
• PHU-specific data compiled to derive provincial estimates
• Temporal trend data• Historical IRIS data with the exception of survey in 2011/12; • Supplementary data on HPV via survey methodology (2007/8 to 2009/10)

Limitations
• Coverage estimates reported here do not include extended eligibility doses, with exception of HPV vaccine coverage survey• Likely underestimates true program uptake
• Completeness of denominator data
• Mismatch between program eligibility (grade-based) and coverage calculation (age-based)
• Coverage reports not specific to vaccine products • Men-C vaccine versus MCV4

Conclusions
• School-based immunization delivery is an effective platform to achieve high immunization coverage
• Ontario’s coverage estimates meets national coverage target for meningococcal conjugate• Direction of recent trends encouraging for HPV and Hepatitis B
• New information system (Panorama) presents opportunities for more detailed assessment of coverage and analysis of predictors of uptake
