The Benefits of Registries
Immunization Registries (also known as Immunization Information Systems)
A very useful tool to assist parents, providers and health plans in keeping track of vaccination histories are immunization registries. These confidential, computerized information systems contain immunization records and provide immediate access to a child's current immunization status to authorized providers. As families move in and out of public and private health care systems, parents and providers can use registries as a powerful tool to ensure that children receive timely immunizations and proper treatment.
