As a starting point for Immunization Competencies for Health Professionals, the working group used a document prepared by the U.K. Health Protection Agency entitled Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training and adapted it to the Canadian context.

The levels of proficiency (aware, knowledgeable, or proficient) used to develop the Immunization Competencies Levelling Tool was adapted from a document prepared by the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine entitled Informatics Competencies for Public Health Professionals.
