COVID-19 Vaccination Training Program now ended
The COVID-19 Vaccination Training Program (CVTP) ended on 31 October 2023. CVTP training will
no longer be mandatory for participation in the COVID-19 Vaccine Program.
COVID-19 reference resources, such as the
COVID-19 Vaccines in Australia and
ATAGI Recommended COVID-19 Vaccines Doses posters, will continue to be updated and available. For continued access to learning resources for COVID-19 vaccines, visit the DoHAC website on
becoming a COVID-19 vaccine provider.
All primary care sites participating in the COVID-19 Vaccine Program must continue to either:
- hold a valid accreditation (or be undergoing accreditation) through the National General Practice Accreditation Scheme, or
- administer vaccines as part of the National Immunisation Program (NIP).
Should you have any clinical questions regarding COVID-19 vaccine administrations, the Vaccine Operations Centre remains available on 1800 318 208 or at COVID19VaccineOperationsCentre@Health.gov.au
Australian Immunisation Register patient reports for practices
Practices can now extract updated reports from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), giving greater visibility of patients' vaccination status, and therefore improving the follow-up process.
You can now download a report by practice (rather than by practitioner) showing patients who have yet to receive any doses of COVID-19 vaccines or who are now eligible, due or overdue for a booster dose.
Australian Immunisation Register reporting for children aged 5–11 years
Reporting a Pfizer vaccination for children aged 5–11 years in the Australian Immunisation Register is the same as for all other age cohorts.
When completing the report, use the vaccine code COMIRN.
Make sure to use the latest version of your clinical software to make sure it meets reporting requirements.
