The role of primary care providers in preventing vaccine-preventable diseases includes more than administering vaccines. Timely documentation in New York’s immunization registries (New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) for providers outside New York City, and the Citywide Immunization Registry (CIR) for providers within New York City) is essential to protecting children and supporting public health.
Why Timely Reporting Matters
Accurate updates to NYSIIS and CIR:
Ensure continuity of care
Prevent missed or duplicate vaccinations
Support public health surveillance
Improve office efficiency
Comply with New York State law (reporting required within 14 days)
The Value of Timely Vaccination
Vaccines are most effective when given

Fidelis Care would like to inform providers of a significant development impacting COVID-19 vaccine access across New York State.
On Friday, Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order declaring a disaster emergency to ensure near-universal access to the latest COVID-19 vaccines. This order, effective through October 5, 2025, enables pharmacists to prescribe and administer the 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccine formulations to patients ages 3 and older.
While the FDA has only approved the latest vaccine formulations for individuals at high risk of severe illness or those aged 65 and older, the executive order allows broader access in anticipation of the upcoming respiratory virus season.
