Additionally, MHCA has worked with the Maine Immunization Program on a protocol for providers to use the Maine Immunization Information System (ImmPact) to ascertain the vaccination status of new residents. Here's the latest information:
ImmPact:
- If sites want to have “view-only” permission, they need to fill out a non-vaccine user agreement.

Sites are only allowed to view resident records. Sites wishing to see staff records should only search with the staff members' documented consent.
- Sites that are partnered with pharmacies to receive vaccine transfers will need to have a Covid-19 Provider Agreement: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/immunization/covid-19-providers/enrollment.shtml These sites can shift their ImmPact permissions from non-vaccine user tovaccine provider.
- The ImmPact team is happy to provide training on how to use ImmPact. If you are interested, please contact ngrosso@mehca.org. MHCA will request a training based on member response.
