EXCITING NEWS 2022-2023 School and Child Care Resources The following message is sent on behalf of the Arizona Immunization Program Office (AIPO):    Welcome back to a new school year! The Arizona Immunization Program Office (AIPO) has two websites dedicated to school immunization information. The Child Care, School & College home webpage links immunization requirements and forms, the Immunization Data Reports (IDR), immunization education material, and college information. The State & National Immunization Coverage Data - Home webpage links the Arizona school and child care immunization data and the National Immunization Coverage Data. The resources on both web pages can help you manage your child care or school health office immunization program. Immunization Requirements and Forms All child care and school documents have been reviewed/revised for the new school year.

On this website, you can search for coverage data for schools and child care facilities for current and past years, for child care, kindergarten, 6th grade, and by county and school.    Arizona State Immunization Information System (ASIIS) The ASIIS homepage provides information on frequently asked questions, training, and enrollment. When you click on the Enrollment link, it takes you to a page to enroll for access (view) only and the link to the enrollment application. When filling out the application, the third section asks you what program your facility participates in, select “none of the above.” You will then see a drop-down list to indicate which type of school program you are affiliated with. For more questions about ASIIS access or viewing, please call the help desk at 602-364-3899 or 877-491-5741 or email ASIISHelpdesk@azdhs.gov.
