The Department of Human Services, a local health department, or both, or their agents or other providers may develop an immunization registry and an associated tracking and recall system to include, but not be limited to, children and young adults. This system shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) Registering all clients born in, living in or receiving services in this state;
(2) Tracking and updating immunization histories of the registered clients;
(3) Allowing a provider to provide information to and obtain information from the immunization and immunization tracking and recall records contained in an immunization registry without the consent of the client or the parent or guardian of the client;
(4) Allowing an immunization record of a client to be released to authorized users;
(5) Notifying in writing the parent or guardian of a client, at least through five years of age, when the tracking and recall system indicates that a client has missed a scheduled immunization and, if the client has not been immunized after two notifications, arranging to have the parent or guardian contacted personally;
(6) Integrating with any immunization registry and its associated tracking and recall systems; and
(7) Working with health care providers to develop easy information transfer systems. [1993 c.297 §3; 2003 c.573 §2; 2003 c.593 §2; 2007 c.196 §3]
