Submitting Overseas Vaccinations

Record vaccinations that were administered outside Australia to maintain complete patient immunisation records in AIR.

When to Use

• Patient received vaccination in another country
• Migrant, refugee, or international student presenting vaccination records
• Traveller returning with vaccinations administered abroad

How to Submit

The process is the same as recording a new encounter, with the overseas toggle enabled:

1. Open the encounter recording form
2. Set the Date of Service to the actual date the vaccination was administered
3. Select the vaccine and complete required fields as normal
4. Toggle Administered Overseas to on
5. Select the Country from the searchable dropdown
6. Submit the encounter

Notes

• Use the same vaccine codes as domestic vaccinations — Light filters by date regardless of location
• The overseas indicator will appear as a badge on the immunisation history record
• Ensure you have patient documentation to support overseas vaccination entries
