TBDHU highly recommends ICON for the following purposes:

- It allows families to report their child's immunization records to their local public health unit, as required by the Immunization of School Pupils Act, 1990 (ISPA) and the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 (CCEYA).
- Public health units can review immunization records to ensure school children are up to date with their immunizations.
- Reporting immunizations helps to keep everyone protected from serious diseases that can be easily spread in schools and throughout our communities.
Immunization records may also be needed for:
- Medical treatment
- Children's programs
