In today’s Pānui	Immunisation Recording and Reporting Improvement – Tips & Tricks Influenza Reimbursement Portal Workplace/Offsite Vaccination Services
Immunisation Recording and Reporting Improvement – Tips & Tricks	Ensure every immunisation is correctly recorded and counted.  The 30 June 2025 immunisation target for 24-month children to be fully immunised is 84% - building up to 95% over the next 2 years.  In order to receive full funding, we need sustain >84% over the next two months. Last week we noted that in order for an immunisation event to be recorded, the child’s next of kin must be recorded in AIR – if it is not included, it is not counted.
Influenza Reimbursement Portal	A reminder that this portal is open for general practices to claim for flu vaccinations for staff: The portal opened on 1 April and will close on 30 September. Any incomplete claims after 30 September will not be considered for reimbursement. Some minor adjustments have been made to the portal this year - please refer to the website and PDF guide before emailing any questions about submitting your claim. If you need assistance with vaccinating at your workplace, please consult workplace vaccinators, which lists providers who may be able to come on-site to your business. (To be added to this list, please see instructions below.)
Workplace/Offsite Vaccination Services	If your practice offers vaccination services by visiting people in their workplace and would like to be added to the list held by Health NZ on their website, please email Immunisation@tewhatuora.govt.nz Please note this PDF list is held on an influenza webpage that is targeted to health professionals.
