The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a national register administered by The Australian Government Department of Health that records vaccines given to all people in Australia. The AIR includes vaccines given: under the National Immunisation Program, through school programs, and privately, such as flu or travel.
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.
Until 2015 the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register contained information on vaccinations for children aged up to 7 years. This was expanded in 2016 to include records for people aged under 20 years, then for people of all ages, including historical data where available. Data for adults (16+) are not considered sufficiently complete for use until 2018.
