Welcome to the Bay Area Regional
Immunization Registry

The Bay Area Regional Immunization Registry (BARR) is a confidential, computerized information system designed to catalog and provide immediate access to a patient’s immunization history. The registry’s purpose is to create a consolidated immunization data source for both public and private sectors in the Bay Area region. BARR assists providers in tracking patient records, reducing missed opportunities, and helping to ensure the timely immunization of children to protect them against vaccine-preventable diseases.

The Registry:

• Keeps accurate records of immunizations, no matter where they were given.
• Helps providers and parents determine when immunizations are due.
• Protects patients by avoiding unnecessary duplication of immunizations.
• Provides reminders and/or recalls to let patients and providers know when they or their patient are due or overdue for an immunization.
• Provides printouts of the California Immunization Record and California School Blue Card.
• Tracks vaccine inventory by lot number and manufacturer.

Immunization Registries are endorsed by:

• American Academy of Pediatrics
• American Medical Association
• American Public Health Association
• California Academy of Family Physicians
• California School Nurses Organization
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
  

The Bay Area Immunization Registry is a member of the Statewide Immunization Information System (SIIS), which is California's statewide immunization registry network. Plans are currently underway to integrate California's regional immunization registries so that information can be exchanged through the State.
