Providers may report administration of COVID-19 vaccines in any of the three ways they report administration of vaccines to ImmTrac2:
ImmTrac2 Web App., accessed via a web browser

(EHR) system
COVID-19 vaccines are an antiviral, immunization, or medication (AIM) that is associated to a disaster and all administrations must be reported to the state registry (ImmTrac2).
COVID-19 Vaccine providers are required to report all COVID-19 immunizations to the Texas Immunization Registry within 24 hours of administration.
FTP Batch Reporting(may transmit records daily to meet the 24-hour requirement)

Reporting COVID-19 Vaccines in ImmTrac2

Appropriately record a patient’s disaster related consent.Disaster related consent is not required for a patient to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. However, providers must accurately record whether or not a patient has signed a disaster related consent.
![Page 21: COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Webinar - TexasThe Texas Immunization Registry has added the approved CDC COVID- 19 Vaccine Codes to ImmTrac2.

Disaster Consents
Patients who receive the COVID-19 Vaccine will be designated disaster clients. This means that Providers will need to appropriately record whether clients are Disaster Consented (DC) or Disaster Unconsented (DU).
Patients are NOT REQUIRED to sign a disaster consent to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Every administration of a COVID-19 vaccine must be reported to ImmTrac2.
• Disaster consented patients’ disaster AIMs remain in the ImmTrac2 registry longer than 5 years after the disaster.
• Disaster unconsented patients’ AIMs are deleted after 5 years.
DO NOT use regular ImmTrac Child (IC) or ImmTrac Adult (IA) consents to report COVID-19 vaccines.
