Panorama is a database designed to provide high quality, timely health surveillance data across Ontario. It is currently used by public health units to capture data related to immunizations and vaccine inventory movement. Panorama functionality includes tracking student immunizations, exemptions and compliance with the Immunization of School Pupils Act as well as immunizations provided by public health unit staff at schools and clinics. Panorama is also used for accountability and quality assurance for vaccine inventory and storage.
Panorama is used to determine coverage rates and to identify students eligible for suspension. The schools in which suspension is enforced for incomplete records have the most accurate coverage rates because the threat of suspension provides an incentive for parents to provide complete immunization information to the health unit. For more information on how to report, please visit the health unit website on reporting immunization information.
