I was fortunate to attend the American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA) National Meeting last month in Seattle, WA. I attended a lot of great sessions at the AIRA meeting—and even led a session myself—and one of the presentations really jumped out at me. Sudha Setty from the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection spoke about the ways her department used IIS data to explore questions related to health equity.
Last time on the podcast, Mary Beth Kurilo helped us explore immunization information systems (IIS). I’m always interested to learn how people get involved in public health, so in this bonus episode, we’ll hear about Mary Beth’s career path, including how she got interested in IIS and why she enjoys working in the IIS community.

For example, vaccination against deadly diseases a key public health practice, but tracking and recording immunizations is more involved than you may realize.
