Section 1. Active and Passive Immunization
Active Immunization
Record Keeping and Immunization Information Systems
The National Vaccine Advisory Committee in 1993 recommended a set of standards to improve immunization practices for health care professionals serving children and revised the standards in 2002 (see p 854). The standards include the recommendation that immunizations of patients be documented through use of immunization records that are accurate, complete, and easily accessible. In addition, the standards also recommend use of tracking systems to provide reminder/recall notices to parents/guardians and physicians when immunizations are due or overdue. Immunization information systems address record-keeping needs and tracking functions and have additional capacities, such as adverse event reporting, interoperability with electronic medical records, emergency preparedness functions, and linkage with other public health programs. Additional information about immunization information systems can be found at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/iis/default.htm.
