“…4 The IIS research nonusers were more likely to report functionalities not related to data completeness such as smallpox modules and first-responder modules (which can be used to make entering and tracking data easier in a public health emergency). This is likely because having a discernible goal (eg, targeted intervention) 14 may be the most obvious short-term benefit and may be more likely to be perceived as part of an IP's mission.…”

“…1 Recent legislation implemented in states across the country has encouraged practices that increase IIS use, through methods such as mandated reporting or implied consent. 4 In addition, one public health benefit of using the IIS is improved accuracy in estimating vaccination coverage when compared with parent or provider estimates alone. 3 However, populationbased IISs have been used for evaluating associations with coverage and coverage rates (including analysis of the impact of policy changes or public health interventions and adverse events), completion of vaccine series, accuracy of coverage estimates, and completeness of data in the IIS.…”

Vaccine coverage is routinely used as a performance indicator for immunization programs both at local and global levels. For many national immunization programs, there are challenges with accurately estimating vaccination coverage based on available data sources, however an increasing number of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have begun implementing electronic immunization registries to replace health facilities’ paper-based tools and aggregate reporting systems. These systems allow for more efficient capture and use of routinely reported individual-level data that can be used to calculate dose-specific and cohort vaccination coverage, replacing the commonly used aggregate routine health information system data. With these individual-level data immunization programs have the opportunity to redefine performance measures to enhance programmatic decision-making at all levels of the health system. In this commentary, we discuss how measures for assessing vaccination status and program performance can be redefined and recalculated using these data when generated at the health facility level and the implications of the use and availability of electronic individual-level data.
