It is mandatory to report all influenza vaccinations, including those administered to individuals who have opted out from sharing their immunisation history, to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). Influenza vaccines administered overseas by a recognised vaccination provider can also be reported to AIR. If the vaccine was administered overseas and the batch number is not available, vaccination providers should enter ‘notrecorded’, (one word, no spaces) in the AIR.
Information about sending immunisation data to the AIR is available at: Submitting information using the AIR site.
Information about the HPOS Form Upload facility to lodge forms with AIR is available on the Form Upload webpage.
Note: Ensuring the correct vaccine (based on age requirements) is administered and reported will avoid a vaccine administration error being recorded, and further follow up required by Services Australia. Discontinued influenza vaccine brands may no longer be available to report. It is mandatory to include a batch number when reporting influenza vaccines. Individuals can now access an Influenza and COVID-19 immunisation history statement
