Section IX. 2020 Immunization Information Systems Annual Report (IISAR)

What is the Immunization Information Systems Annual Report (IISAR)?

The IISAR is an annual survey that assesses immunization program performance in developing, maintaining, and 

enhancing Immunization Information Systems for a given calendar year. It is a reporting requirement for the 64 

immunization programs that receive funding under section 317b of the Public Health Service Act.

A brief note on methods

•

•

The IISAR is a self-reported, self-validated survey administered by the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) and answered by immunization program awardees. CDC may contact you with questions after 

submission in order to continue data validation.

Data are collected prior to the release of Census estimates for the year of the survey. For this reason, we include 

Census estimates in the survey for the year prior to provide preliminary estimates for some measures. These 

preliminary estimates are revised when the final Census data are released—approximately in September each 

year—for the prior years’ data. CDC provides preliminary estimates on the IISAR to ensure the estimates are 

concordant with the program and past years’ data. 

Changes in 2020

The IISAR underwent revisions in 2020 to align with the Data Quality Blueprint. The survey was reorganized to align with 

the blueprint milestones. Please be sure to carefully review the logic guidance in all sections in order to respond to their 

new specifications as accurately as possible.

Instructions

• All awardees that conduct IIS activities in their state/city/territory are required to complete this report.

• All awardees with IIS in transition are required to complete questions 1 through 5 and should consult with their 

IISSB Project Officer to discuss completing other data elements on the questionnaire. 

• Items in italics are completed by CDC; awardees only need to respond to questions that are NOT italicized. 

• Items reflect a range of topics involving the IIS’s live production environment. The production environment 

refers to your IIS being in operation and available for its intended use by its users.

• Throughout the IISAR questionnaire, age ranges are described as from age X through Y months/years. This 

terminology is consistent with language used by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and 

indicates the lower and upper age limits for who should be included in data reporting. In all cases, age X is the 

lower bound and age Y is the upper bound. For example, adolescents aged 11 through 17 years should include 

adolescents at least 11 years old and less than 18 years of age. Those younger than 11 years, or 18 years or 

older, would not be included in this group.

• The IISAR questionnaire assesses several functionalities and activities of your IIS. Please note that questions 

utilizing the term “could” refer to capabilities of your system regardless of whether they were performed during 

the calendar year, while questions utilizing the term “did” refer to activities that your IIS actively performed 

during the calendar year.

• Submission of the final IISAR must be done by the Immunization Program Manager or their designee. 

• Only one Annual Report will be accepted per awardee. If awardees receive information from other regions or 

counties in their jurisdiction, the awardee must compile the information into one Annual Report. 

• The Annual Report is due on July 1, 2021; the year of performance is calendar year 2020. CDC IISSB staff will 

contact each IIS after July 1 with questions and/or comments about the report and data submitted for calendar 

year 2020. After July 1, 2021, the submission data will be corrected and revised. Any revised submissions from 
2

awardees should correct issues with the submitted data as of July 1 ONLY. When submitting revisions, do NOT 

submit additional 2020 data that were uploaded AFTER the July 1 cutoff date.

• Please contact Terence Ng, CDC/NCIRD/IISSB (contractor) at VFK5@cdc.gov or Lauren Shaw, CDC/NCIRD/IISSB at 

ILV6@cdc.gov if you need clarification on a question or answer choice.

Age Groups

Logic Guidance: 

The IISAR has been programmed to match the age groups below. Some questions are only relevant for defined age 

groups. Therefore, the number of required questions may be reduced depending on which age groups are included in 

your IIS.

When determining if an age group is included in your IIS, consider the age range that your IIS is authorized to collect 

regardless of a reporting mandate or the completeness of data captured for that age group.

6. Which age groups are included in your IIS? Select one: 

a. Birth through 18 years of age

b. All ages, including adults

c. Other (specify)______________
5

DATA QUALITY CHARACTERISTIC: COMPLETE

• 90% of all provider sites in the jurisdiction are reporting to the IIS

• 90% of demographic records for the jurisdiction are included in the IIS

• 90% of vaccination records for persons in the jurisdiction are included in the IIS

Provider Site Participation 

Logic Guidance— Provider Site Participation:

• Notes on Provider Site Classifications:

o Provider Site: A provider organization that provides vaccination services and that maintains permanent 

records (excluding temporary or mobile immunization clinics, health fairs, etc.).

o Enrolled: A provider site is considered enrolled if it is in your IIS and has achieved a live interface or is 

manually entering data to the IIS.

o All provider sites enrolled in VFC as of December 31, 2020 should be counted as a VFC site.

• Use the table below to identify provider sites to include in the assessment for Q.7 – 9.

General provider site inclusions/exclusions Include?

All provider sites enrolled in your IIS, regardless of age group served by those sites or your IIS YES

All provider sites enrolled in your IIS as of December 31, 2020 YES

Provider sites that are physically located outside your jurisdiction NO

Provider sites that only enrolled to provide emergency vaccines such as during pandemic 

response scenarios.

Example: Exclude a community center that only enrolled due to the 2010 H1N1 influenza 

pandemic and does not provide other immunizations. However, include a pediatrician that 

enrolled due to the 2010 H1N1 influenza pandemic if they also continue to provide routine 

immunizations.

NO

Newborn Population Capture

Logic Guidance—Newborn Population Capture:

• Notes on Vital Records vs Other Records

o Vital Records: Vital Records are records of life events kept under governmental authority and include birth 

certificates.

o Other record: Other birth records are all other records of birth that are not Vital Records and may come 

from birthing hospitals, perinatal or newborn screening programs.

o Reported numbers of newborn records established from Vital Records and other record sources should be 

mutually exclusive.

o For Q.11 – Q.12 below, if a patient record comes to your IIS through other birth record sources, but is later 

verified by Vital Records, consider the patient record to have come from Vital Records.

o For Q.11 – Q.12 below, if a patient record comes to your IIS through other birth record sources ONLY, 

consider the patient record to have come from other record sources.

• Use the table below to identify newborns to include in the assessment:

o Other record: Other birth records are all other records of birth that are not Vital Records and may come 

from birthing hospitals, perinatal or newborn screening programs.

o Reported numbers of newborn records established from Vital Records and other record sources should be 

mutually exclusive.

o When determining whether a record was established by Vital Records or other birth record sources, 

consider which source the birth record was established by first. Therefore, regardless of whether a birth 

record is later established by Vital Records, if it was first established by Other Record sources, consider it 

established by Other Record Sources. Only consider a record established by Vital Records if it was 

established in your IIS by Vital Records FIRST.
