Progress in development of immunization registries--United States- 2000.
Immunization registries are confidential- population-based-
computerized information systems that attempt to collect
vaccination data about all children within a geographic area.
Registries are an important tool to increase and sustain high
vaccination coverage by consolidating vaccination records of
children from multiple providers- generating reminder and recall
vaccination notices for each child- and providing official
vaccination forms and vaccination coverage assessments. One of the
national health objectives for 2010 is to increase to 95% the
proportion of children aged <6 years who participate in fully
operational population-based immunization registries (objective
14.26). To assess the status of immunization registry development-
CDC analyzed self-reported data from 62 immunization grantees on
the basis of data from the 2000 Immunization Registry Annual Report
(IRAR). This report summarizes the results of this analysis- which
indicate that approximately half of the grantees are operating
population-based immunization registries that target their entire
catchment areas/ however- approximately 75% of children aged <6
years still need to be included in an immunization registry to
reach the national health objective.
