VAMS Training for Clinic Users

• Effective 7/1/22, the CT WiZ law mandates all vaccinating providers to report electronically to CT WiZ.
• Please submit a helpdesk ticket with your PIN and expected date of the switch.  DPH will schedule a call to review the process with your clinic.
  • The benefits of CT WiZ include:
    • Your patient’s complete, consolidated record containing all shots received at providers across Connecticut is available to you for clinical decision support.
    • Your patient’s complete, consolidated immunization record is available to them through the CT WiZ public portal, for self-service access—this means patients and parents of minors can access their records when needed for school, camp, travel, etc. online within minutes!
    • Report to CT WiZ directly from your EHR and manage your vaccine inventory in one system.
    • Run numerous reports, including reports to support inventory management and patient reminder recall, and more!
