Notes on report data

1. Data is collected from National Immunisation Register and Covid19 immunisation Register and collated weekly.
2. Around 8,000 immunisation records are held in CIR pending data review. These may be valid vaccinations that will feed through once resolved.
3. Coverage statistics are based on HSU 20/21 FY.
4. Data captured on paper or systems other than NIR/CIR are not included.
5. Approximately 60% of the Flu vaccinations are entered into NIR and the remaining 40% are entered into CIR.
6. There is a time lag from when vaccines are administered to when they are entered into NIR. Approximately 80% of Flu vaccinations are entered in the same calendar week they are administered. ~15% are entered the following week and the remaining 5% are entered over time. This will impact week on week comparison reporting
