IRIS is a statewide system designed to help you and your healthcare provider keep track of your family’s immunization records.
What is IRIS?
• Enrollment in IRIS is completely voluntary.
• Completely confidential and secure, your information can only be accessed by enrolled healthcare
providers, schools, or child care programs.
• Everyone with an immunization record can be part of the system.
How will IRIS help me?
• If you move or change providers... any enrolled site can retrieve your or yourchild’s records.
• If your or your child’s immunization record is lost... any enrolled site can retrieve and print an official
copy of your or your child’s immunization history.
• Schools and child care programs can retrieve and print an official copy of you child’s immunization
history.
