Immunisation

Sydney North Health Network (SNHN) supports vaccination providers across the region by delivering timely information, education and practical support to protect individuals and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunisation is a core part of the SNHN Strategic Plan.

We assist by:

Supporting cold chain management and use of AIR reports to identify immunisation opportunities and continuous quality improvement activities
Coordinating education sessions from respected experts in the field – webinar recordings and providing the immunisation updates via our newsletters and practice visiting program.

Australian Immunisation Register

AIR

AIR is the register of vaccinations given to people of all ages in Australia. All vaccinations should be reported to the AIR. It is mandatory for all National Immunisation Program vaccines.

People of all ages enrolled in Medicare are automatically included on the AIR. A person’s history may be incomplete as AIR only became an all of life register in 2016.
