West Virginia Registry is Tracking Smallpox Vaccinations
As of April 2003, West Virginia has provided approximately 700 first responder smallpox immunizations statewide. In order to maintain the smallpox data locally, West Virginia tracks these vaccinations through the state immunization registry system, WVSIIS. The state has been using a Scientific Technologies Corporation (STC) immunization registry since 1999. With the newly developed add-on PVS Certified application, it was easy to link smallpox vaccinations with their existing registry system. The system creates the ability to use bar code scanners to capture PVS numbers quickly and accurately.
West Virginia has conducted smallpox clinics in each of its seven regions throughout the state.
