The AIR can only accept immunisation information from recognised vaccination providers in Australia. For your patient’s safety and to help public health management, you must record all immunisation information in the AIR.
Recognised vaccination providers can use the AIR to:
- check someone’s immunisation status
- get an immunisation history statement as proof of vaccination
- record patient immunisation information
- update or correct someone’s immunisation record
- report immunisation medical exemptions
- request reports to help identify patients due or overdue for vaccinations
- get information payments for the provision of certain vaccinations.
