Publish PowerSchool Immunization Data to CHIRP

Contents

Introduction

Schools and districts can publish student immunization data in PowerSchool to CHIRP. The options available allow you to publish only data that has not been published, all immunization data, or if you have attempted to publish in the past but received errors, you can choose to re-publish only those records. You can also view the immunization records in different ways, including all records in a summary format, only records that were published, or only records that were rejected due to incorrect or missing data along with the associated error messages.

Refer to CHIRP Mapping and Data Setup for more information about data you must enter into PowerSchool before publishing.

Required Criteria

To publish to CHIRP, the student's record must meet the following criteria:

  • The student must not be excluded from CHIRP on the students' Immunizations tab within Health.

  • The date the vaccine was administered must be between the student's date of birth and the current year.

  • The vaccine must have a valid CVX code in PowerSchool.

Publish Student Immunization Data to CHIRP

If a student is enrolled in more than one school, immunization data is sent for the school where [Student]ReportingSchoolID = [School]SchoolID.

To publish PowerSchool immunization data to CHIRP:

  1. From the Start Page, under Data Exchange, click CHIRP. The CHIRP page appears.

  2. On the Publish CHIRP Immunization Data header, click Schedule. The CHIRP_IN IMMUNIZATION page appears.

    • If you are publishing from the District for all schools, click OK on the Alert message. If you want to publish only for a single school, you must sign in to that school and run the publish function from there.

  3. Select an option for Data Publishing:

    • PUBLISH MISSING: Search for and publish any unpublished data for authorized students.

    • PUBLISH ALL: Search for and publish all valid immunization data for authorized students.

    • RETRY ERRORS: Retry publishing immunization data currently marked with an error status

  4. Under Scheduling, click Run Now to publish immediately or Schedule to select a date and time to publish.

  5. Click Submit. The CHIRP review and schedule page reappear, indicating the number of records processing and publishing, the number of records with unfulfilled dependencies, the number of records with errors, the number of records with data exceptions, and the number of records published.

When publishing to CHIRP:

  • The student's School name, Grade level, and Include in CHIRP information are sent.

  • Records with any valid CVX code entered for a student on the Immunization page are sent. Refer to Valid Vaccine Codes for more information.
