Public health involves the organized efforts of society that aim to keep people healthy and to prevent illness, injury and premature death. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has put in place programs, services and policies to help protect and promote the health of all Canadians and residents of Canada. In Canada, public health is a responsibility that is shared by all three levels of government in collaboration with the private sector, non-governmental organizations, health professionals and the public.

Departmental Plans (DPs) and Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are individual expenditure plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). These reports provide increased levels of detail over a three-year period on an organization's main priorities by strategic outcome(s), program activity(ies) and planned/expected results, including links to related resource requirements. The RPPs also provide details on human resource requirements, major capital projects, grants and contributions, and net program costs. They are tabled in Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the ministers who preside over the appropriation-dependent departments and agencies identified in Schedules I, I.1 and II of the Financial Administration Act .

In 2021-22, PHAC will use many tools to promote vaccine uptake, leverage public opinion research to address evolving issues relating to vaccine hesitancy, and continue to work hard to protect Canadians by ensuring vaccine safety. PHAC will also continue to provide Canadians with useful, timely, and evidence-based information to protect themselves, their families, their communities, and their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
