An audit of the Australian Immunisation Register https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35824 30 days overdue for immunisation. Survey data were analysed using population weights. Results: Estimated true coverage of fully vaccinated one-year-old children in NSW is 96.2% (CI:95.9-96.4), 2.1% higher than AIR reported coverage of 94.1%. Of the children reported as overdue on AIR, 34.9% (CI:30.9-38.9) were actually fully vaccinated. No significant association was found between under-reporting and socioeconomic status, rurality or reported local coverage level. Data errors in AIR uploading (at provider level) and duplicate records contributed to incorrect AIR coverage recording. Conclusions: Despite incentives to record childhood vaccinations on AIR, under-reporting continues to be an important contributor to underestimation of true coverage in NSW. Implications for public health: More reliable transmission of encounters to AIR at provider level and removal of duplicates would improve accuracy of reported coverage.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:30:08 AEDT ]]> Tailoring immunisation programs in Lismore, New South Wales - we want our children to be healthy and grow well, and immunisation really helps https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45289 Thu 27 Oct 2022 13:47:46 AEDT ]]> ‘Immunisation, I haven't had a problem, but once again the transport, making an appointment, the time that you waste and all of those things are an issue’—Understanding childhood under-immunisation in Mid North Coast New South Wales, Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44811 Mon 24 Oct 2022 09:38:40 AEDT ]]>
