About ALERT IIS
White badge with blue text stating Oregon's registry meets national standards for immunization registries.

The ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS) at www.alertiis.org, is Oregon's statewide immunization registry. 

ALERT began in 1996 as a childhood immunization information system, but in 2008, it grew to include all ages. In 2010, ALERT became ALERT IIS, an even stronger web-based system with many new features.  The ALERT IIS has been validated by the American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA) as meeting national standards.

By law, only authorized users are allowed to access immunization information in ALERT IIS. Authorized users include health care providers, local health departments, health plans, schools, and children's facilities.

Adults, parents, and guardians looking for immunization records, go to How to Get Your Immunization Record.
