Immunization Records in Vermont
The Vermont Immunization Registry (IMR) is a secure, centralized health information system that contains immunization records for Vermonters. Medical providers use the IMR to find patient histories for new patients, and print IMR reports for parents who need these records for school and child care entry. School nurses use the IMR for immunization coverage reporting.
Because the IMR contains records for all persons born in (or seeking medical care in) Vermont, medical providers use it to explore immunization coverage in their own practice and identify persons who are not up to date for immunizations. It is a valuable tool for reducing vaccine-preventable disease.
NOTICE: The Immunization Registry (IMR) Team is aware of several issues in our vaccine forecaster logic that may incorrectly evaluate patient’s vaccine history. Users may see patient’s evaluations of up-to-date status as different than expected for several vaccine groups, including PCV20, RSV, COVID-19, DTP, MMR, Influenza, and Varicella. This could also have an effect on coverage rates for a practice.
This issue is due to a delayed release of an update to the vaccine forecaster logic that has not yet been implemented at a national level and is therefore affecting the Vermont IMR. We expect to see progress made within the next month or two.
We understand that this delay is leading to confusion and frustration for users. In the interim, the best process for evaluating a patients vaccine schedule is to refer to the current CDC Vaccine Schedules, which include drop down information for expected vaccine groups and unique situations. Please do not hesitate to contact the IMR team with any questions you may have.
