About ALERT IIS

The ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS) is a statewide immunization registry developed to achieve complete and timely immunization of all Oregonians throughout their lives. ALERT collects immunization data from both public and private health care providers to create complete records for individuals in Oregon. ALERT IIS offers many features that save time and provide valuable information in clinical and school settings.

ALERT IIS provides a valuable service to all Oregonians by endeavoring to provide complete immunization records to medical providers, avoiding overimmunizing. ALERT IIS also provides the capability to generate reminders to patients, which helps ensure on-time immunizations. All Oregon schools and children's facilities require immunizations prior to attendance. ALERT IIS provides on-line access to schools and certified child care centers to look up students' records. This simplifies the enrollment process for parents.
