Is the government planning to computerise the health history

CDC's 2010 Immunization schedules are now available for all. The main changes are:

The last dose in the inactivated poliovirus vaccine series is now recommended to be administered on or after the 4th birthday and at least 6 months since the previous dose. In addition, if 4 doses are administered prior to age 4 years an additional (5th) dose should be administered at age 4 through 6 years.

The hepatitis A vaccination of children older than 23 months for whom immunity against hepatitis A is desired is allowed.

Revaccination with meningococcal conjugate vaccine is now recommended for children who remain at increased risk of meningococcal disease after 3 years (if the first dose was administered at age 2 through 6 years) or after 5 years (if the first dose was administered at age 7 years or older).

The bivalent HPV vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV) is available and recommended, and administration of quadrivalent HPV vaccine to males aged 9 through 18 years to reduce the likelihood of acquiring genital warts, is permissively recommended.

Is the government planning to computerise the health history

There was a talk sometime back about Obama planning to computerize the health history of all the Americans. Has that plan fizzled out or is it still on the table? Anyone with some info? If all the immunization records are computerised, people can get automatic alerts and calls from the doctors when the immunization is due so no one would miss a shot!! No one would need to keep a tab on the immunization schedule that is published every year.

That would be so nice!! I wish they do that! The only concern I have is my privacy. The people who do not want to get immunized would get called every hour by the doctors/govt/crooks to get the shot! That itself would give me a headache!
