Identification of School-Aged Patients Who May Have Missed Immunizations
Last Updated July 28, 2023
There is a significant decrease in uptake of required immunizations for school-aged children that poses a risk for increased vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks. Health care providers are encouraged to review their patient panel to determine which vaccines school-aged patients are eligible to receive to keep up to date with their immunization schedule.

OntarioMD has developed searches and queries for Accuro® EMR, OSCAR Pro EMR, and TELUS PSS EMR to aid clinicians in identifying patients aged 4-6 and 7-11 who may have missed vaccines. This initiative aims to streamline the process of locating individuals who require vaccination catch-up under the Immunization School Pupils Act (ISPA).
The queries search for the following criteria:
Patients aged 4-6 years inclusive missing one or more of the following:
- 4 DTaP-IPV
- 1 MMR
- 1 Varicella
- 1 MenC-C
Patients aged 7-11 years inclusive missing one or more of the following:
- 5 DTaP-IPV
- 2 MMR
- 2 Varicella
- 1 MenC-C
NOTE: It is important to verify the accuracy of the patient list, use clinical judgement to assess which vaccines should be administered, and to devise a plan to reach out to schedule appointments for school-aged children who require one or more vaccinations.
