Interjurisdictional Exchange

Immunization information system (IIS) interjurisdictional exchange is a growing priority across the IIS community. As the US population becomes increasingly mobile, there is a greater need to query and exchange information across jurisdictional lines. Many regional exchanges are already under way, either between neighboring jurisdictions (e.g., Oregon and Washington) or between city and state jurisdictions (e.g., New York state and New York City).

Public Health IIS Interjurisdictional MOU

AIRA supports all jurisdictions signing the Public Health IIS Interjurisdictional MOU. The MOU is a fillable form that supports secure, electronic exchange of immunization information among governmental entities that operate an IIS. AIRA collaborated with the Network for Public Health Law to update the MOU in 2020. AIRA is serving as the administrator of the MOU, and an increasing number of jurisdictions have signed and submitted their copies to AIRA. A collated set of signed MOUs is available after logging in to the member section of the AIRA repository. If you would like to be added to this set of agreements, simply fill out and sign the MOU and submit it to [email protected].

CDC's Immunization (IZ) Gateway 

CDC’s IZ Gateway is a program that includes a technology solution and infrastructure that facilitate immunization data exchange. It securely supports efficient exchange of immunization data among jurisdictional immunization information systems (IIS) and between IISs and public and private vaccine-providing organizations (e.g., Veterans Health Administration and others).
