INTEGRATING THE HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM

Please contact VIIS to begin the enrollment process.

The Virginia Immunization Information System (VIIS) is Virginia’s statewide immunization registry that contains immunization data of persons of all ages. VIIS is a voluntary, free, web-based system for data that documents all immunizations a person has received into one definitive, accurate record. VIIS is an integral tool for ensuring that children and adults receive their age-appropriate immunizations while preventing under- and over-immunizing. Under-immunized children are vulnerable to preventable and serious illness. Over-immunizing occurs when healthcare providers are unaware of immunizations given by other providers and give duplicate vaccines to the person. A complete and accurate immunization record will eliminate the unnecessary duplication of immunizations that now occurs in 21% of children. Initially VIIS is populated by birth records for children born in Virginia. VDH works with numerous organizations in order to pre-populate the system with existing immunization history. In addition, VIIS is continuously being populated with immunization data from providers and organizations across the state.
