The Knesset (parliament) passed an amendment to the Public Health Ordinance mandating the creation of a national electronic immunization registry, which took effect in March 2025. All vaccine providers (including the Ministry of Health MoH, municipalities, health plans, hospitals and private providers) must report administered vaccines to the MoH using standardized digital systems. The MOH is required to take measures to protect privacy and information security. Individuals can access their vaccination records through the government’s or the HPs’ personal electronic medical records. All providers can access immunization records. The registry is intended to improve continuity of care, enable better outbreak response and enhance public health surveillance. The law was passed in part to strengthen preparedness for future pandemics and public health emergencies.
