New guide open for public comment: Capturing Investigational Study Vaccination Data in IIS

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, investigational study vaccinations were not typically reported to the immunization information systems (IIS) for several reasons, one of which includes the strict patient-blinding policies in clinical trial protocols. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the role of vaccine clinical trials and their vaccinated participants into a new spotlight. There is a need to share participant investigational study vaccination data with appropriate entities, including the participant and those responsible for the care of the participant. IIS can capture and include investigational study vaccines, including COVID-19, in participants’ comprehensive vaccination records. IIS can be accessed by a variety of health care providers, making IIS an ideal tool for clinical decision support. Although we recognize that investigational study vaccinations might not be able to be reported to the IIS until after the trial concludes and is unblinded, this document summarizes the importance of reporting investigational study vaccination data to the IIS and outlines technical and other important considerations for partner organizations working on this topic.
