They provide extensive clinical information on the immunization program, vaccine administration recommendations, vaccine ordering, storage, and handling, immunization schedules, and state and federal rules and laws. They also provide education and assess compliance with North Carolina Immunization Program requirements through compliance site visits. Gail Baker, RN, CPHN serves as Supervisor for the RINs.
