Statewide Recall

On a monthly basis, ALERT IIS produces a Statewide Recall report including all 22-month-old children who are past the recommended date for immunizations. Part of the statewide recall process is giving medical providers an opportunity to review the patients on the recall list in order to update patient demographics and immunizations. We’ve create a Tipsheet that provides a quick review of the process for opening the report.
