Electronic Vaccination Registries in Latin America: Summary Report
This report assesses EVRs in 17 Latin American countries, from Argentina to Uruguay.
- Electronic recording is now widespread, but fully consolidated, life-course registries are uncommon
- The report identifies five recurring system configurations, each affecting how HPV coverage figures should be read
- Eleven countries fall within a single 11% scoring band. Similar scores can hide very different systems: Peru, Chile and Colombia all score 72%
- HPV vaccination works as a stress test for EVRs, because school-based delivery and multi-sector coordination expose gaps in data capture and reporting
The State-of-the-Art in Electronic Vaccination Registries in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland and Serbia
This study covers 34 countries and territories: all 27 EU member states, the four UK nations, Norway, Switzerland and Serbia.
- Scores range from 99% (Denmark) to 33% (Bulgaria), which shows a significant digital divide across Europe
- Ten countries and territories score 85% or above, led by Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Norway
- Identifies four opportunities to close the gap, including the European Health Data Space and EU funding for interoperable systems
An In-depth Analysis of Six Electronic Vaccination Registers in Northern Europe Using a Gold Standard
This report takes a deep dive into six of Europe’s highest-performing registries: Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland and Scotland.
- Benchmarks each country against an OpenSky gold standard built on the HL7 FHIR interoperability standard
- Finds that a single, country-wide integrated EVR usually leads to higher coverage
- Recommends that health authorities adopt HL7 FHIR and centralise EVR data in a single repository
- For HPV, recommends linking EVRs with cancer and screening registers to measure vaccination’s impact on preventable cancers

Our Research Approach
OpenSky’s Research Projects Division leads this programme, led by Prof. Tudor Pitulac. Each study combines desk research, structured scorecards and interviews with immunisation specialists and national agencies. Findings are cross-checked across sources before conclusions are drawn.
