Child Profile Operations Guidance on Confidentiality

Each parent has the right not to participate in the Child Profile Immunization Registry or get Child Profile Health Promotion mailings. Participation in the Immunization Registry means a child's name and demographic and immunization information is recorded in the Immunization Registry through electronic birth certificate linkage and provider input authorized by formal written agreement. A parent may choose not to participate by contacting the immunization provider and requesting that immunization information be deleted, or by contacting the Child Profile Help Desk directly. A parent may choose to have some portion or all of their child's demographic and immunization information deleted from the Immunization Registry.

Participation in the Child Profile Health Promotion mailings means that parents of kids born and residing in Washington State will automatically get a series of 17 age-specific mailings, up to and including age six. The mailings focus on health, development, safety, well-child visits, and immunizations. A parent may choose not to participate and not to get the mailings by contacting WithinReach at 1-800-322-2588.
