Providers looking to improve their immunization rates can start by calculating, understanding and comparing their own rates (generated by CIIS) to county and state immunization rates and implementing other best practices.

Best practices for improving immunization rates:

• Reminder/recall: client reminder and recall interventions are used to remind certain patients vaccinations are due (reminders) or late (recall).

    • ​Frequently asked questions on reminder/recalls.
    • Information on reminder/recall systems.
