The mean national
immunization coverage at age two years (2007 data) was: DTaP-IPV-Hib4 (all 95%), HBV3 (99%), MMR1 (97%), HAV1 (93%). These reports are based on a 17% population-based sample in some districts and on cumulative reports in others. The new national
immunization registry requires data completeness, protection of confidentiality, compulsory reporting by providers, and links to other computerized health records. It would provide individual
immunization data from infancy to adulthood and be accessible to both providers and consumers. During 2008 the Ministry of Health in Israel launched a national
immunization registry based on
immunization reporting from well-baby clinics using a web-based computerized system. As of December 2010, 210 well-baby clinics are connected to the nascent registry, which includes the records of some 100,000 children.
