What are the Benefits of using an Immunization Registry?
Immunization registries improve the quality of healthcare for children by providing critical tools to ensure that all children receive the required immunizations at the right time. By using a registry, private health care providers, hospitals, schools and local public health entities can identify those children who are at risk in the event of a disease outbreak or other emergencies such as hurricanes, earthquakes or floods. Registries are also used by public health authorities in locating communities with low coverage rates and then targeting interventions in those specific areas. The result is that more children are protected from debilitating or potentially fatal diseases and they are protected at a lower cost through targeting funds to areas where funds are most needed.
