Immunization registry progress--United States- January-December 2002.
Immunization registries are confidential- computerized information
systems that collect vaccination data within a geographic area. By
consolidating vaccination records from multiple health-care
providers- generating reminder and recall notifications- and
assessing clinic and vaccination coverage- registries serve as key
tools to increase and sustain high vaccination coverage. One of the
national health objectives for 2010 is to increase to 95% the
proportion of children aged <6 years who participate (i.e.- have
two or more vaccinations recorded) in fully operational-
population-based immunization registries. This report summarizes
data from CDC\'s 2002 Immunization Registry Annual Report (2002
IRAR)- a survey of registry activity among immunization programs in
the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC) that receive grant
funding under section 317b of the Public Health Service Act. These
data indicate that approximately 43% of children aged <6 years
are enrolled in a registry/ achieving the national health objective
will require increased implementation of functional standards to
improve data quality.
