adult immunizations; reporting requirements

SB 1663 requires licensed health care providers in Arizona to report specific immunization data for adult patients (ages 18+), including name, address, Social Security number (if not confidential), and date of birth, to the state health department. This expands Arizona’s existing child immunization reporting system to include adults, with providers submitting data weekly or monthly via standard methods. The bill includes strict confidentiality rules, allowing data sharing only with authorized entities like health care providers, schools, or patients themselves, and adds an opt-out option for patients to withhold their information from the system. It does not change vaccination requirements but creates new reporting obligations for adult care providers and strengthens privacy protections for immunization records.
