Data scope Originally established as the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register in 1996, to record data on vaccinations provided to children aged up to 7 years, the register was expanded in 2016 to include data for people of all ages. As of 2018 the HPV vaccination register was transferred to the AIR along with records of other school-based immunisation programs. Reporting of adult vaccinations to the AIR was mandated in July 2021 for vaccinations provided under the National Immunisation Program, for influenza and for covid-19. Reporting of other vaccinations is not mandatory. |
