    Can I ask those facilities who load staff vaccinations into the Australian Immunization Register (AIR), how did you set this up? Did you require a vaccination provider number? Or did you report to another body to submit this data to the AIR?

    We are a private hospital, and would like to send information on staff vaccinations given to the AIR, but are not sure how to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello Michael

    You will have to apply to the Department of Human Services (Medicare) and request access to the AIR site. You will need to complete the AIR Application to Register as a Vaccination Provider which includes State/Territory Health Department approval. As a private immunisation provider in WA, our State Senior Medical Officer, Immunisation, Surveillance and Disease Control Program approved our application.

    Happy to chat further off line about the process which was somewhat arduous when we applied in 2018.

    Kind regards

    Hi Michael, we started adding vaccines to the AIR last year. It does add somewhat to our work load. But I would also say that access to the AIR has benefits in terms of being able to see where some employees (including future employees) have already had vaccines and thereby reducing the number of un-necessary vaccines.

    Hi Michael,

    We organised adding all vaccines onto the AIR about 16 months ago.

    By approaching the Executive Director of Medical Services he has allowed us to access his provider number for the hospital and we enter all staff vaccinations provided using his details.
    It did take a little while to organise the access and the password to go with it but once organised very easy to upload vaccine details.

    All the best

    HI Michael,

    It is a disappointing aspect of the system that nurses are still required to
    use a doctor provider number to enter the vaccine in AIR, especially for
    nurses who are accredited immunisers who are authorised to give NIP
    vaccines. My cynical comment for the day.

    Good move to register the vaccinations on AIR.
