Diseases & Vaccines Vaccine Safety Immunization Registry Schedules and Special Requirements

Immunization Registry
Immunization registries are confidential, computerized information systems that catalog patients' immunization histories. Immunization registries provide information that can be utilized for vaccine safety studies and incorporated into ongoing quality improvement practices. These systems help to ensure high coverage levels at the provider or practice level. In addition, registries can be used to send automated information and reminders to under-immunized patients. By consolidating records that are scattered across providers, registries provide accurate, up-to-date documented proof of patient community immunization coverage levels.
