Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON) In late spring, NRPH activated the Ministry’s Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON). ICON is a secure and confidential online system for patients to update and retrieve their immunization information. Patients and parents/legal guardians can continue to report vaccinations online for their children 0 to 17 years of age and can now also access their immunization records through ICON. ICON provides patients ownership and control over their personal health information by allowing them to directly access and share their records with primary care providers through appropriate channels.
