Overview
A catch up tool to support clinical decision making, targeting tamariki who are behind in their Immunisation schedule . The tool provides a guide of what to give, when to give and what's due next, ensuring tamariki are reaching optimal protection against communicable diseases.
Based on the Ministry of Health’s National Immunisation Schedule, the tool produces an easy to read summary of the status of the vaccines required for optimum protection against communicable disease.
The tool draws information from documented immunisations in the PMS, calculated on age, and history, for those who have missed or have delayed scheduled vaccines.
Version 1.1 of the tool focusses on the childhood immunisations for the 3 months to 9 years cohort and MMR status for 10- 34 year olds.

FAQ’s
What is the cost to install and use the tool?
The tool is free to install and use
Where is the immunisation data sourced from?
The tool sources the data from the PMS, not the NIR. If vaccination data is not up-to-date in the PMS please synchronise the patient file with NIR first
How does the tool work for patients who have had overseas immunisations?
The tool looks for antigens rather than vaccine names. This provides better information about what the person is vaccinated against and the number of doses still needed according to their age, and overseas vaccination schedules which may be different. If there are errors, please ensure the patient’s the patient’s vaccinations have been entered correctly
