How are patient and immunization records created in the PA-SIIS?
• Pennsylvania birth records are electronically imported into the PA-SIIS on a weekly basis. Patient records are currently created in the PA-SIIS for all Pennsylvania births from 1996 to date. • For patients born in Pennsylvania prior to 1996, providers create the patient record. • For all patients born outside of Pennsylvania, providers create the patient record. Immunization providers update the records when they vaccinate a patient.
