Immunizations through the years

Our Mission

The mission of the Metro Health Immunization Program is to prevent and control transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases in persons of all ages, with emphasis on individuals at highest risk for under-immunization.

Immunization Information

Vaccine-preventable disease levels are at or near record lows. However, we are unable to take this for granted. It is important that children and adults continue to receive their immunizations on time every time. If we stopped vaccinating, diseases that are almost unknown would reappear in our community. Vaccines are designed not to just protect our children but our grandchildren and their grandchildren. Click HERE for information about the diseases that vaccines protect against.

Registry Information

The San Antonio Immunization Registry System (SAIRS) is a secure computerized immunization information system operated by Metro Health since 1980. SAIRS is designed to capture the immunization information of a client over that person's lifespan. It currently holds over 1.3 million client records.

The enhanced San Antonio Immunization Registry System (SAIRS) was successfully launched on July 11, 2011 and immunizations are now being entered in the new system. Over the coming months the registry staff will be working with immunization providers to implement direct entry capabilities to the registry.

Effective September 2, 2011, the old system will be removed and replaced by SAIRS. Immunization data will no longer be entered into the old system. If you are not able to access the new registry and have not enrolled in the new system, please contact 207-5071. Please use the new registry by visiting the site below:
