What Benefits Can Schools Expect to Receive from Using Immunization Information Systems?
Immunization information systems can offer many benefits to school personnel. As a school nurse or school administrator, you are in charge of making certain that all your students are fully immunized and ready to learn. With the ever growing complexity of the recommended immunization schedule it has become increasingly difficult to determine which vaccines are required for each student. Participating in your state’s IIS will facilitate disease prevention by providing you with accurate and timely immunization records for each of your students. Using an IIS will help streamline the immunization process, saving staff time by alleviating the burdensome task of individually verifying each student’s record.
