    Hi All,

    Some seem to have misread Lori’s question which is not about entering HCW vaccination status on the AIR.

    Her question relates to mandatory flu vaccination requirements. See extract below:

    “Information about……….flu vaccination mandates for health care workers including those working in RACFs”

    Morning,

    That’s correct as of 1st July last year it was mandatory that all vaccinations be entered into AIR this includes any staff and patient vaccinations given within a healthcare facility.

    Hi Kelly

    The way I read this, ALL (public and private) influenza vaccines administered need to entered into AIR. As do ALL vaccines under the NIP, not just publicly funded, and all COVID-19 vaccines as well, of course.
