Mission & Vision
The Georgia Immunization Registry is designed to collect and maintain accurate, complete and current vaccination records to promote effective and cost-efficient disease prevention and control. The Georgia Immunization Registry law, passed in 1996 and expanded by House Bill 1526, requires reporting by " any person who administers a vaccine or vaccines licensed for use by the United States Food and Drug Administration to a person." Several options will be available for submitting immunization records to the Registry. Georgia's immunization providers will also have quick and easy access to immunization records on individual children and be able to generate a variety of reports on their immunization status.
The goals of the Georgia Immunization Registry are:
- Assure that all persons in Georgia receive appropriate, timely immunizations to lead healthy, disease-free lives
- Assist providers and public health officials in reminding individuals when they or their children need or are past due for vaccination(s)
- Assist public health officials in assessing and improving community immunization status
- Assure access to up-to-date immunization records of Georgians
- Assist providers in evaluating the immunization status of their patients
- Avoid duplicate immunizations
- Meet the needs of Georgia's Immunization Registry mandate
- Provide a Registry that is cost-effective, user friendly, and efficient.
