- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400100002Description: Immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases such as shingles and pneumococcal disease play an important role in the overall health and well being of older Canadians. However, vaccine uptake remains low. Using data from The Canadian Health Survey on Seniors – 2019/2020, this study examined the prevalence and factors associated with shingles and pneumococcal vaccination among individuals aged 65 and older living in the community.Release date: 2024-01-17
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202201200004Description:
Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign began on December 14, 2020 with the arrival of a limited number of doses which were prioritized for high-risk populations, such as the elderly, residents and staff of congregate living settings, frontline healthcare workers, and Indigenous populations. Using data from the COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Survey (CVCS), this study’s objective was to examine sociodemographic disparities in COVID-19 vaccination uptake and intent by identifying the social and economic determinants associated with vaccination uptake among seniors aged 60 years and older (i.e., those eligible for vaccination at the time of the survey) and the determinants of vaccination intent in the entire adult population.
Release date: 2022-12-21 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202100100018Description:
Colorectal cancer screening, along with other health care services, was suspended in Canada in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic response. This pause was deemed necessary to allow health care facilities to establish appropriate infection-control measures to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks and to reserve health system capacity for COVID-19 patients. The current article projects the impact of a three-month suspension of screening for colorectal cancer using a fecal test for average-risk individuals, and compares strategies to minimize the harm from screening interruptions. The projections come from OncoSim, a cancer microsimulation model co-developed by Statistics Canada and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.
Release date: 2021-06-17 - 4. Flu vaccination rates in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-624-X201500114218Description:
This article presents the latest national and provincial flu vaccination rates from the 2013–2014 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and compares them with the previous 12 years. Rates are also provided for two groups at high risk of complications from the flu: seniors aged 65 and over and those under 65 with select chronic conditions.
Release date: 2015-10-27 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201500514169Description:
The Cancer Risk Management Model incorporates the risk of developing cancer, disease screening and clinical management with cost and labour data to assess health outcomes and economic impact. A screening module added to the lung cancer module enables a variety of scenarios to be evaluated for different target populations with varying rates of participation, compliance, and frequency of low-dose computed tomography screening.
Release date: 2015-05-20 - 6. H1N1 vaccination ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000411348Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on data from the 2010 Canadian Community Health Survey, this study examines uptake of the H1N1 vaccine. Socio-demographic, priority group and health service characteristics of those who were vaccinated, along with reasons for not doing so, are analyzed.
Release date: 2010-09-30 - 7. Influenza vaccination ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030026830Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2000/01, 28% of Canadians aged 20 or older reported having had a flu shot in the previous year, up from 16% in 1996/97. Close to two-thirds of seniors and one-half of people with chronic conditions had been vaccinated. Among the minority of seniors who did not get a flu shot, the main reason for not getting a shot was that they thought it was unnecessary.
Release date: 2004-03-29 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20020036557Geography: CanadaDescription:
After rising in the early 1990s, prostate cancer incidence rates have fallen. Mortality rates from the disease decreased among men aged 60 or older, but are little changed among younger men. In 2000/01, about four in 10 men aged 40 or older reported having had a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
Release date: 2003-05-23 - 9. Falling short of Pap test guidelines ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19980013862Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the associations between women's characteristics and getting or not getting a Pap test.
