WVSIIS West Virginia Statewide Immunization Information System The West Virginia Statewide Immunization Information System (WVSIIS) helps ensure that all West Virginia children, adolescents and adults have current immunizations. These shots help protect all of us from diseases like measles, rotavirus, human papillomavirus, hepatitis and pertussis (whooping cough). The WVSIIS is a confidential, computerized information system that keeps complete and up-to-date shot records. You won't have to worry about losing your shot records even if you change providers. You may not know this, but state law requires all providers to report all shots they administer to the WVSIIS within two weeks. Providers who use the reporting system are able to print reminders for those needing future vaccinations. This same system can easily notify individuals of any missed vaccinations. Another benefit for all of us is that WVSIIS helps prevent unnecessary immunizations or revaccination by alerting providers prior to administering the shot(s). All shot records are protected the same as any other confidential medical record. Those who need a current shot record may simply ask their provider or local health department to print them a copy during their next office visit. Remember to request that your entire immunization history be recorded in the registry. If you have questions about the WVSIIS call 1-877-408-8930. Click here for more information on shot records. Below is an example of what information your provider may access from the WVSIIS.
