The **Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA)** is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that “advises\[s\] decision-makers about public health system reform and to guide initiatives to help safeguard the personal and community health of Canadians and people around the world.”[\[1\]](#fn1)

## History

CPHA co-organized the Canadian Immunization Conference 2018.[\[2\]](#fn2)

### COVID-19

CPHA co-developed [CANImmunize](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/CANImmunize) through the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute using a $3,812,397 grant from the [Public Health Agency of Canada](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Public-Health-Agency-of-Canada)'s [Immunization Partnership Fund](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Immunization-Partnership-Fund).[\[3\]](#fn3)[\[4\]](#fn4)

## Organization

The CPHA publishes the *Canadian Journal of Public Health*, which “aims to advance public health research and practice in Canada and around the world, contributing to the improvement of the health of populations and the reduction of health inequalities.”[\[5\]](#fn5) Its Editor-in-Chief is Louise Potvin. The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).[\[6\]](#fn6)

The CPHA funds a project called the [Canadian Vaccination Evidence Resource and Exchange Centre](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Canadian-Vaccination-Evidence-Resource-and-Exchange-Centre) (CANVax), an “online database of curated resources to support immunization program planning and promotional activities to improve vaccine acceptance and uptake in Canada.”[\[7\]](#fn7)
