What are IIS Sentinel Sites?
The National Immunization Program (NCIRD) established a group of immunization information systems (IIS) as Sentinel Sites in 2004 from those that receive CDC/NCIRD immunization grant funding. These Sentinel Sites receive additional grant funds to achieve higher standards of data quality and routinely analyze data for programmatic decision-making. These sites partner with NIP in tracking patterns in immunization practices and assessing vaccination coverage of children in specific geographic areas.
