"The North Carolina Immunization Registry (NCIR) is a secure, web-based clinical tool which is the official source for North Carolina immunization information. Immunization providers may access all recorded immunizations administered in North Carolina, regardless of where the immunizations were given.
The purpose of NCIR is:
• To give patients, parents, health care providers, schools and child-care facilities timely access to complete, accurate and relevant immunization data;
• To assist in the evaluation of a child's immunization status and identify children who need (or are past due for) immunizations;
• To assist communities in assessing their immunization coverage and identifying areas of under-immunization.
