From 8 December 2024, a new bespoke antenatal indictor will be added to the AIR. This will allow vaccination providers to report to the AIR if the person is pregnant at the time of vaccine administration.
In addition, improvements will be made to the ‘vaccine type’ field to simplify the reporting options available for vaccination providers. This includes removing the ‘Private’ and ‘State funded’ options and replacing with ‘Other’.
Maternal immunisation is critical in protecting pregnant women and their babies from serious illness and severe complications from vaccine preventable diseases.
The collection of antenatal data is important as it ensures that the AIR contains a complete and reliable dataset to enable the monitoring of immunisation coverage and administration, and the effectiveness and safety of maternal vaccines and vaccination programs.
These enhancements will be implemented in a phased approach as detailed below. Vaccination providers wanting to know when these changes will be available in their clinical software are encouraged to speak with their software provider.
| Implementation date | Summary of changes |
| 8 December 2024 | Software developers will have the ability to build the new antenatal indicator into their clinical software products.
