What is CVIIS?
An Immunization Registry is a confidential computerized database that stores and tracks childhood immunization records and recommends dates when vaccinations are due.

The Central Valley Immunization Information System (CVIIS) is a regional effort of public health departments in Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mono, and Tulare Counties with the shared goal of increasing the rate of fully immunized children and reducing the number of unnecessary immunizations.


McKinney-Vento Connection
The McKinney-Vento Act gives homeless students the right to immediate enrollment, regardless of immunization status or records, and it requires LEA Liaisons to assist children in getting immunizations as needed.  The California Health and Safety Code (Section 120440) permits designated school personnel read only access to immunization registry information.   

Benefits of school participation in CVIIS include the following:
•    LEA personnel will have read-only access to immunization records from a growing list of providers.
•    LEAs will be provided with software training and a list of participating immunization providers.  
•    LEAs that give immunizations on school sites may register as providers so that their information may be accessed by another school district when a student transfers.
•    There is no participation cost to the LEA.


School Participation
In order to become a CVIIS user, an LEA must sign an MOU regarding confidentiality and designated personnel must participate in a three-hour training on the software system (no cost to districts).

If you have additional questions, call Lydia Peterson, Public Health Project Specialist, Kern County Department of Public Health, at (661) 868-0334.
