New data suggests vaccination rates among Canadian children are falling short.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says none of the country's national vaccination goals were met in any of the age groups surveyed in 2017.

The study says 2.4 per cent of two-year-olds are estimated to be unvaccinated, with Atlantic Canada having the lowest unvaccinated rate at 1.3 per cent, while British Columbia had the highest at 3.9 per cent. The Public Health Agency of Canada routinely monitors childhood vaccination rates through the childhood National Immunization Coverage Survey, which began in 1994 and has been conducted approximately every two years.Although the numbers fall short of ideal, Tuesday's study said vaccination coverage among two- and seven-year-olds have not changed much in recent years.

Other provinces and territories came close -- including P.E.I. at 93.9 per cent, Nova Scotia at 93.5 per cent and the Yukon at 93.7 per cent. Coverage was lowest in British Columbia at 87.5 per cent, Manitoba at 85.6 per cent and Nunavut at 82.1 per cent.

no vaccinations.. no public school and no jobs around health care.

Reasons being... New Canadians without GPs or not vaccinated before they immigrated. More parents questioning the validity of multi dose inoculations and the vaccine schedule itself. No not the effectiveness or rational of vaccines themselves.
