As Virginians, we want our children to grow up healthy and strong. One of the simplest ways of doing so is by ensuring that our children receive all of his/her immunizations in a timely fashion. By doing so, we can protect them from many vaccine preventable diseases. Help create a healthier Virginia by showing your support for the Virginia Immunization Information System (VIIS).
Goals of VIIS are:
- To increase and sustain high immunization coverage rates in the state
- To ensure that each child receives recommended and required immunizations
- To ensure that immunization services are documented accurately
- To eliminate missed opportunities by providing parents/guardians with reminders
- To accurately assess the immunization status of each child
- To identify the geographic pockets-of-need within Virginia
- To prevent children from being under-immunized (not receiving recommended vaccines) or over-immunized (receiving duplicate and unnecessary vaccines)
- To streamline vaccine management and improve accountability
