To get a complete picture of the vaccinations received by your [FILL: IF NUMBCHIL=1, 

DISPLAY: "your child" ELSE IF NUMBCHIL>1, DISPLAY: "your children"], the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention would like to obtain a copy of your child’s vaccination records

"your child" ELSE IF NUMBCHIL>1, DISPLAY: "your children"].

[ELSE IF S6=2, 77, or 99), THEN DISPLAY:]

Thank you for the valuable information you've shared with us. We find that it’s often difficult 

to remember specifics about vaccinations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 

would like to collect the dates and types of vaccinations your [FILL: IF NUMBCHIL=1, 

DISPLAY: "your child has" ELSE IF NUMBCHIL>1, DISPLAY: "your children have"] 

received from the doctors or health clinics who provided them. 

FAQs

I've already given you the shot dates/Why do you need to contact my doctor? 

-- The doctor’s office has information about the exact brands or types of vaccines that were 

given, and this information is needed to track vaccination rates for each vaccine.

-- In order to standardize the type of information that we receive, it is required that we contact 

providers directly. We also ask providers a few questions about the characteristics of their 

practice or clinic, so that we can accept only immunization history forms filled out by health 

care providers.

That's too personal: 

-- I understand your concern. Confidentiality is mandated by law and I can assure you that the 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will only receive the immunization information. 

We remove all names from the immunization information so that neither you nor the child will 

be identified as a participant. 

-- The National Immunization Survey has been conducted for over 20 years (since 1994). Each 

year we receive immunization histories from over 20,000 doctors and clinics; in fact, your 

doctor may have already taken part. 

-- Only the information related to the child's immunization history is requested; no other 

medical information or identifiable information is included. 

What will this information be used for? 

-- Information we collect is used to summarize childhood immunization rates in your 

community and to survey vaccine shortages. States use this information to develop health care 

policies and determine where funding is most needed for federal vaccine programs. With this 

information, the CDC can also identify where providers are ordering their vaccines and which 

types are being ordered. 

-- The [IF PUERTO RICO DISPLAY “Puerto Rico Department of Health and the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention” ; ELSE DISPLAY: ”Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention”] uses the information we collect to determine if individual states are meeting the 

vaccination goals set for them by the Childhood Immunization Initiative.

FAQs: 

What am I consenting to? What is going to happen if I say “yes” to this?

With your permission, we’ll send a letter of consent and an immunization history form to your 

health care provider. The form shows the names of the vaccinations (like a shot card), and they 

will fill in the specific type and date for each immunization.

-- We don’t collect any additional medical information about your child. We are asking for your 

consent to collect only the immunization history. 

-- Once your child’s doctor returns the form to us, we remove all names before reporting the 

information to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When the data are used by CDC 

and other researchers, they have no way of knowing you or your child participated in the 

survey. 

-- In order to collect complete data, we need information from both you and your doctor. The 

success of this survey depends on the voluntary cooperation of thousands of concerned 

households (like yours). 

-- Your household represents many others in your area because of the scientific process to 

randomly select telephone numbers. We hope that you will choose to participate because your 

household cannot be replaced. 

Why contact my doctor? Why give consent? 

The information you’ve provided is very helpful and we appreciate your cooperation; however, 

to get the most accurate vaccination history, we need to contact your healthcare provider. They 

will be able to confirm the dates and specific types of each vaccination.

-- The National Immunization Survey has been conducted for over 20 years (since 1994). Each 

year we receive immunization histories from over 20,000 doctors and clinics; in fact, your 

doctor may have already taken part. 
NORC 64 Section D: Provider

-- The National Immunization Survey is the primary source of vaccination data about preschool 

aged children in our country. Information collected helps to identify communities where 

additional resources may be needed for vaccination programs. 

-- Because vaccinations play an important role in reducing and eliminating childhood diseases, 

we need dependable, up to date statistics (from this survey). Public health agencies in your area 

rely on this information when making decisions and evaluating health care programs in your 

area.

Why contact my doctor? Why give consent?

-- The information you’ve provided is very helpful and we appreciate your cooperation; 

however, to get the most accurate vaccination history, we need to contact your healthcare 

provider. They will be able to confirm the dates and specific types of each vaccination.

-- The National Immunization Survey has been conducted for over 20 years (since 1994). Each 

year we receive immunization histories from over 20,000 doctors and clinics; in fact, your 

doctor may have already taken part.

--The National Immunization Survey is the primary source of vaccination data about preschool 

aged children in our country. Information collected helps to identify communities where 

additional resources may be needed for vaccination programs.

--Because vaccinations play an important role in reducing and eliminating childhood diseases, 

we need dependable, up to date statistics (from this survey). Public health agencies in your area 

rely on this information when making decisions and evaluating health care programs in your 

area.

I don't want to give you my doctor's information

-- The information you've provided is very helpful and we appreciate your cooperation; however, 

that information is only useful in conjunction with information from your healthcare provider, 

who can provide and confirm the dates, specific types and dosages of each vaccination.

-- Confidentiality is mandated by law and I can assure you that the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention will only receive the immunization information. We remove all names from the 

immunization information so that neither you nor the child will be identified as a participant.

Why contact my doctor? Why give consent?

-- The doctor’s office has information about the exact brands or types of vaccines that were given, 

and this information is needed to track vaccination rates for each vaccine.

-- In addition to asking about the child's vaccination history, we also ask providers a few questions 

about the characteristics of their practice or clinic.

-- The National Immunization Survey has been conducted for nearly 20 years (since 1994). Each 

year we receive immunization histories from over 20,000 doctors and clinics; in fact, your doctor

we'll send a letter of consent and an immunization history form to your health care provider. 

The form shows the names of vaccinations (like a shot card), and they will fill in the specific

separated from the immunization information. Neither you nor your child will be identified as a 

participant in the National Immunization Survey.

Sometimes to get a complete record of your child(ren)'s vaccinations it would be helpful to

contact your local immunization registry. This registry has information on children's

vaccinations. The information we collect will be about your child(ren)'s vaccinations only.

Do we have your permission to contact your local immunization registry, give them basic

information that identifies your child, and request that information relevant to your child(ren)'s

immunization history be sent to the [IF PUERTO RICO, DISPLAY: “Puerto Rico Department

purposes only?

WHAT IS A REGISTRY?

Immunization registries are confidential, population-based, computerized information systems

that attempt to collect vaccination data about all children in a geographic area.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO CONTACT A REGISTRY?

Vaccination information from doctors and clinics sometimes is not complete or available. So, in

order to get the most complete information possible about children’s vaccinations, we also need

to contact local registries to collect vaccination information.

DIDN’T YOU ALREADY CONTACT THE REGISTRY TO GET MY PHONE NUMBER?
