COVID-19 vaccine data collection: Why it’s collected, how it’s protected – KATV

State and federal officials have a few different systems to report and keepCOVID-19 vaccine information. Dr. Jennifer Dillaha with the Arkansas Department of Health said when someone goes to get the vaccine, they get your name, birthday, and contact information, and put it into the state immunization information system, or WebIZ. “It makes healthcare higher quality, and more efficient,” Dillaha said. She said they also get your race or ethnicity to ensure fairness and equity.
