CSTE LEAD 2022

Immunization Epis in the House?

Hey colleagues, 
Dora and I were having a discussion about IIS matters and thought we'd reach out to others in the cohort. Any IIS epis interested in an informal meeting to compare notes?
Thanks!

I am not IIS epi, but have a couple epis in our team that I am sure would love to connect. I can also ask our IIS lead in NH. One of our biggest challenges is importing pharmacy data into IIS at the moment. For context- NH was last state to implement the IIS and it was in the middle of COVID. It has been a bumpy road but the team is incredible. 

Can I ask what the focus of the discussion will be about so I can bring it back to our epis that work with IIS and IIS lead? Thanks so much!

I think my primary goal is to build connection within the cohort and understand how other jurisdictions' systems work. After getting to know one another in the group a bit better, I'd be interested in connecting w/ AIRA and/or CSTE more broadly.

I've actually been meeting with AIRA for a couple of months now (I had reached out to ask about ways states could communicate with each other on analyses and the kinds of questions Katrina described), and they are very enthusiastic about building up some epi resources. We're trying to identify what epis would find most helpful.
