Information Requests

AIRA members can submit and review information requests—a circulation of questions to and answers from the community. 

The New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) team is interested in learning what platforms other IIS use to train their users. NYSIIS currently offers formal user training in the form of recorded Webex webinars, posted on the public-facing NYSDOH website. From the NYSIIS training page on its public site, users can select the specific training they would like to view and are then prompted by a required registration page before the video will buffer and play. This registration page is critical not only because it tracks usage but also because the registration fields are used in IIS user setup. The current platform presents these trainings using a file type known to cause issues, and it can be glitchy when users try to view them. If any jurisdictions are willing to share the platforms they use for training their users, NYSIIS would greatly appreciate it.

The platform must:

• Allow a training link to be posted to a public-facing website with a streaming option
• Prompt users with a required registration page before viewing the training

If you are willing to share information, please reach out to [email protected] and [email protected] by today, Wednesday, July 19, and don’t forget to include your contact information for follow-up. 

The Illinois Department of Health has begun to develop a Tableau training plan for new immunization employees. It is searching for information regarding:

• Documented staff training plans for new immunization staff in the area of data visualization (specifically Tableau).
• Training components that expand outside of immunization division

If you are willing to share information, please reach out to the Illinois Department of Health at [email protected] or [email protected] by today, Wednesday, July 19, and don’t forget to include your contact information for follow-up. 

The Wisconsin Department of Health is seeking information about COVID-19 data and influenza administration data visualization. Have any jurisdictions created data visualizations for respiratory vaccine data, or do they have any plans to create COVID-19 and influenza dashboards? If so, what metrics are jurisdictions including?

If you are willing to share information, please reach out to the Wisconsin Department of Health at [email protected] or [email protected] by Wednesday, August 2, and don’t forget to include your contact information for follow-up. 

The Maine Immunization Program (ImmPact) would like to learn which states are in the process of writing an RFP (request for proposal) for a new IIS system and a timeline of when they will be posting and closing on their RFP. Please also share a copy of the RFP.

Any information received will not be posted publicly but will be available for other IIS teams upon request.

If you are willing to share information, please reach out to the Maine IIS team at [email protected] or [email protected] by Wednesday, August 2, and don’t forget to include your contact information for follow-up.
