Dear Colleagues:

 

On May 7, 2013, Governor Pence signed Senate Bill 415 mandating that on July 1, 2015, a provider that is licensed under Indiana Code 25 and who is authorized within the provider’s scope of practice to administer immunizations shall electronically provide immunization data to the immunization data registry for all immunizations administered to individuals who are less than nineteen (19) years of age.  This important legislative mandate will move Indiana closer to the Healthy People 2020 goal of properly immunizing children by creating a comprehensive immunization record of all administered vaccines. 

 

Please see the attached memo for additional information. 

 

William C. VanNess II, MD

State Health Commissioner
