About AIRA

The American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA) is a leading 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the development and implementation of immunization information systems (IIS) to combat vaccine-preventable diseases. As a dynamic membership organization, AIRA plays a vital role in the continuous advancement of the nation’s leading public health information systems.

Founded in 1999 after a nationwide measles outbreak prompted the development of immunization registries, AIRA emerged as a pivotal advocate for the development and enhancement of IIS. By fostering collaboration among IIS and immunization programs, organizations, communities, and public health professionals, AIRA drives progress in policy, technical standards, and educational initiatives. Its members, representing all states and local jurisdictions, along with various stakeholders and corporate partners, work collectively with AIRA to strengthen the public health infrastructure and enhance the nation's capacity to protect communities against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Today, AIRA continues to unite voices across the IIS community, providing invaluable resources for education, standards development, and measurement and improvement.
