The
Arizona State Immunization Information System (ASIIS) is an
immunization registry designed to capture immunization data on
individuals within the state. Providers are mandated under Arizona
Revised Statute (A.R.S. §36-135) to report all immunizations
administered to children from birth to 18 years of
age to the state's health department. The registry serves as a
receptacle for accommodating these reported data. In this capacity,
the registry then provides a valuable tool for the management and
reporting of immunization information to public health
professionals, private and public healthcare providers, parents,
guardians and other child care personnel. |

Philosophy
|
|
To
provide a system for the electronic capture, secure storage and
confidential management of immunization data and information. To
operate a
system, which conforms to the minimum standards, established for
registries, as recommended by the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). The data captured and stored will include all
National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) approved core data elements
and will enable authorized providers to retrieve and remit
immunization data. The system will serve as a tool to assist public
and private healthcare professionals, parents, guardians, schools and
childcare personnel to effectively manage the immunization of children
within the state.
Under
Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) §36-135 and Arizona Administrative Code
(AAC) R9-6-706 and 707, children "birth to 18" years of
age are required to receive certain vaccines to enter childcare
facilities and/or schools, and all healthcare professionals
administering immunizations to children must report those immunization
to the registry. |
