Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS)

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is committed to promoting the health of Massachusetts' citizens by reducing the burden of vaccine preventable diseases that affect the residents of the Commonwealth. As part of this effort, the Immunization Program is preparing to launch a statewide web-based immunization registry in 2011. Once fully implemented, the registry, known as the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS), will be the official source of immunization information for Massachusetts.  To access the MIIS page of the MDPH web site, click here.
