2022-2023 School and Child Care Resources
School Health Staff: Welcome back to a new school year!
The Arizona Immunization Program Office (AIPO) has two websites dedicated to school immunization information. There is the Child Care, School & College home webpage where there are links to the immunization requirements and forms, the Immunization Data Reports (IDR), immunization education material, and college information. The State & National Immunization Coverage Data - Home webpage has links to the Arizona school and child care immunization coverage data and the National Immunization Coverage Data. The resources on both of these webpages can help you manage your child care or school health office immunization program.
Immunization Requirements and Forms
All child care and school documents have been reviewed/revised for the new school year. Please visit the Immunization Requirements and Forms page for helpful documents like:
- Arizona Immunization Handbook for Schools & Child Care Programs

Immunization Education Course
Many schools/districts continue to participate in the Arizona Department of Health Service (ADHS) online Immunization Education Course (IEC). The IEC is for grades K-12 only to obtain a Personal Beliefs Exemption form. The AIPO has a dedicated webpage for the Immunization Education Course. If you are not currently a participant and would like more information, visit the webpage.
Immunization Data Report (IDR)
Visit the Immunization Data Report website for information and helpful slide sets that explain how to complete the annual report. Questions may be directed to azidr@azdhs.gov.
Immunization Coverage Data
Data obtained through the annual IDR is posted on the Immunization Coverage Data website. On this website, you can search for coverage data for schools and child care facilities for current and past years, for child care, kindergarten, 6th grades, and by county and school.
Arizona State Immunization Information System (ASIIS)
The ASIIS homepage provides links to frequently asked questions, training, and enrollment. When you click on the Enrollment link it takes you to a page to enroll for access (view) only and the link to the enrollment application. When filling out the application, the third section asks you what program your facility participates in, select “none of the above”. You will then see a drop-down list to indicate which type of school program you are affiliated with. For more questions about ASIIS access or viewing, please call the help desk at 602-364-3899 or 877-491-5741 or email ASIISHelpdesk@azdhs.gov.
The Arizona Immunization Program Office (AIPO) has clinical staff available to assist with your immunization questions (or contact your local county health department).
