Year: 2023

​The 'Immunization – Online Application and Tracking System' aims to establish an online system for the distribution of state-funded influenza vaccines (SFIV) in San Bernardino County. Since there is a limited number of SFIV that is offered to eligible providers, this system enables vaccines to be prioritized in an equitable manner based on low Healthy Places Index (HPI) geographical areas. Since 2021, a total of 47 providers have submitted their SFIV requests through this online system. Data usage and SFIV requests are tracked and provide real-time updates to the SBC Department of Public Health; thus, providing critical information to facilitate better vaccine program management. By reducing complex logistics, streamlining the distribution process, and reducing the administrative burden, the easy-to-use application and tracking system is a convenient and efficient tool for SBC Department of Public Health Immunization staff to ensure that SFIV is provided to those in most need.
