The Statewide Immunization Information System (SIIS) is a population-based immunization tracking system that is being developed to aid in achieving complete and timely immunizations for all people, particularly the age group most at risk, birth through two years. The registry is now being implemented in the public sector; future efforts will focus on implementation in the private sector. PA VFC quality assurance site surveyors are currently identifying providers who are interested in piloting the registry. For more information, contact the Bureau of Health Statistics and Research at 717-783-2548. Click on the title to go to the PA SIIS web site. - Philadelphia Department of Public Health

The PA IEP adapted the California Department of Health's "Immunizaiton Techniques: safe, effective, caring" program for Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. This training program is a 4-hour, hands-on session for no more than 15 participants per session. Participants watch a videotape, see slides highlighting key points, and then move through three "skill stations" practicing different aspects of drawing up and mixing vaccine, injecting vaccine safely and in a caring manner, comfort measures, documentation, and storage and handling. For more information about how you might use this curriculum, contact Amy Wishner, MSN, RN: awishner@paaap.org.
