Registries established in accordance with this Part shall provide for a method of informing the parent, guardian, or registrant when the registrant is due or is late for a recommended immunization and shall serve as a means for persons and institutions that either provide immunization services or are required to ensure that persons are immunized to receive prompt and accurate immunization information.
