THE Department of Health has reminded pharmacists and other health practitioners that flu vaccinations can be recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
According to an update on the government's Human Services website, patients may need proof of vaccination for employment or to enrol in child care or school.
"You can record vaccines on the AIR for people of all ages...this includes vaccines for adults such as Zostavax, pneumococcal and private vaccines for flu and travel," the update advises.
Patients are able to access their own Immunisation History Statement via Medicare Online on the myGov portal, as well as by using the Express Plus Medicare mobile app.
To request access to the AIR website see humanservices.gov.au.
