Events and Hot Topics
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. Click HERE for more information on SAIRS.
