The online immunization service is sponsored by a vaccine manufacturer. It is not altruistic.

Canada prohibits self-serving suggestive prescription drug advertising. Nonetheless drug manufacturers have devised methodologies for skirting the law and putting their wares in front of the public.

The government does not want doctors, most indirectly employed by the state, overrun with patients bent on self-medication. The public health authorities track immunization records and follow-up on those lacking the appropriate vaccinations.
