In its latest update (v 1.38.1) released on March 17, 2023, HLN added support for additional COVID vaccines and made necessary changes to the booster recommendations.

By translating recommendations into a rules-based service available for use in immunization information systems (IIS), electronic health record (EHR) systems, and personal health record (PHR) systems, ICE provides decision support on what immunizations are due and when. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Vaccine Program Office and the Digital Public Goods Alliance, ICE is an innovative tool to support clinical immunization workflows and decrease the burden of preventable disease.
