IMMUNIZATIONS
ALERT IIS
Did you know that immunizations entered into ALERT IIS do not have to be immunizations administered in the state of Oregon? (Ex. If an individual moves to Oregon from another state, they can present their current immunization card to their health care provider and the provider can enter those dates into ALERT IIS.)
