Kentucky Immunization Registry Information The Kentucky Immunization Registry is a confidential, population-based, computerized system for maintaining information regarding patient vaccinations. The state registry is an optional program for providers to use. Not all providers use the registry at this time. School nurses can be setup to access the registry but if they are not employed by a LHD they will only be given access and that still allows them to print certificates. Beginning with the 2017-2018 school ‘view’ year, school nurses who have access to the registry will be able to use immunization certificate printed without a physician signature. For more information about the KY Immunization Registry or how to setup access to the registry, please contact or call 866-237-4814.
