When I was reading the article I saw things mentioned like: "One of the national health objectives " but for which nation? Upon further research I discovered it meant the United States, and not once was the US mentioned in the article, and seeing as a large proportion of Wikipedians (including myself) are from outside the US, PLEASE mention the country you're talking and don't assume your readers are from the same country as you are.

I agree entirely, though at the moment I don't have time to expand this article with a larger worldview. It definitely needs "In the U.S." and "Worldwide" sections. If someone can get to this before I can, here are some resources that have info for both the U.S. and other parts of the world:

Also, "Immunization information system" (IIS) seems to be the more common name. Might also consider moving this to that title and redirecting this term to ISS. Lostraven (talk) 22:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. From my experience, at least in the US, most of the Immunization Registries for each State even fit IIS into their name. RiotRecoil (talk) 21:12, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I work with Immunization Information Systems from all States and Territories of the US. I will try to add the "U.S." and "Worldwide" in the near future. I have a list of all of all the IIS's in the US I would like to add in the form of a table when I get a chance. If you think that would be useful, or have feedback, please let me know.

Delete article?

Should we delete this article? Maybe incorporate it in Vaccination schedule? And then make this article lemma a redirection to Vaccination schedule. Erik del Toro Streb (talk) 12:26, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
