on the CDC approved schedule as indicated by the Arizona
Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule.
- Production of an official Immunization Record for
patients to be used by schools or daycare centers.
- Inventory tracking and management of vaccine supplies.
- Generation of immunization reports such as the Vaccines For
Children (VFC) report and a list of children who need to be

Application). A copy of CASA
is available on the CDC website.
- Ability
to interface with various patient management or billing
systems.
