CIRSET Starts 2003 with Partnership

CIRSET, the Committee on Immunization Registry Standards and Electronic Transmissions, started the calendar year with a flourish of activity. Most importantly, the membership voted to accept a proposal that CIRSET partner with AIRA to become the Immunization Standards Committee for AIRA. This partnership unites their experience and expertise in evaluating and advocating for technical and data exchange standards with the strength, scope and commitment of the American Immunization Registry Association. A Letter of Agreement to work out the details of that partnership is now in process. Further, CIRSET will embark on new initiatives including Vendor Recruitment and a redesign of its Web page as a knowledge base that can offer immediate benefits to registry staff and partners.

The CIRSET membership holds teleconferences each month and welcomes new state, regional and local registry representatives and registry partners and vendors. CIRSET offers a diverse and exciting set of work and focus groups to address real time issues.
