The Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) is a database that documents immunizations given to individuals in Michigan. MCIR was created in 1998 to collect reliable immunization information for children and make it accessible to authorized users. A 2006 change to the Michigan Public Health Code enabled MCIR to transition from a childhood immunization registry to a registry for all ages.
MCIR benefits healthcare organizations, schools, licensed childcare programs, pharmacies, and those receiving immunization care in Michigan by consolidating immunization information from multiple providers into a comprehensive immunization record. This consolidation reduces vaccine-preventable diseases and over-vaccination, allowing providers to view up-to-date patient immunization history in one system.
Healthcare providers must report ALL immunizations administered to every child born after December 31, 1993, and under 20 years of age within 72 hours of administration.
