AIR reporting

Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) with data sharing agreements (DSAs) can access four pre-built interactive NHI-level immunisation reports for their enrolled populations and an immunisation summary dashboard using Power BI.

Operational reports

The four operational reports and their key purposes are: 

• Immunisation Events Given used to show details of vaccines given at a location within a date range. Currently the last five years of data is returned
• 6-week Immunisation Events Given used to track the uptake of 6-week immunisations during the period from 1 April 2024 to 30 June 2025.
• Childhood Immunisation Planned Events (CHIPE) used to identify the immunisation status of tamariki under the age of 6 years against the National Immunisation Schedule (NIS) 
• Youth Immunisation Planned Events (YIPE) used to identify the immunisation status of consumers against the NIS, specifically for 11-year-old Tdap and HPV immunisation events. 
  
  

Immunisation summary dashboard

The immunisation summary dashboard provides regions and districts with visibility of coverage, including by PHO and general practice. The dashboard also provides information on declined immunisation events.

Feedback and enhancement requests for this dashboard should be sent to the Health New Zealand National Public Health Service (NPHS) Intelligence team at nphsintelligence@health.govt.nz.

Data extracts

The immunisation events given report has replaced the weekly data extracts that were previously sent to PHOs with a DSAvia SFTP.

If you are a PHO and require an extract of unenrolled individuals for the purpose of promoting enrolment and tracking newborn enrolment, this can be provided once an addendum to your DSA is signed. Data extracts of your unenrolled population are shared on the first Monday of each month via secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) and not via Power BI. To request the addendum, please contact Immunisation@health.govt.nz.

On 15 February 2024, existing PHO users were granted access to an immunisation summary dashboard in Power BI. This is an interim solution to provide regions and districts with visibility of coverage. The dashboard currently does not include the option to visualise coverage by PHO and general practice. The dashboard will be expanded in April to include these options as well as to show declined immunisation events. Feedback and enhancement requests for this dashboard should be sent to the Te Whatu Ora National Public Health Service (NPHS) Intelligence team nphsintelligence@health.govt.nz.

Access and user guides

Requests for access to the immunisation summary dashboard only  or operational reports and the immunisation summary dashboard should be sent to the AIR service desk specifying which access is required and include the approval of your manager.

A detailed user guide is available or each report and includes a data dictionary, known data issues, and information for data analysts. These guides are updated regularly. Please request the most recent guide from the AIR service desk.

Those that work in the immunisation space and require access to NHI-level information to perform their role can access four pre-built interactive NHI-level reports, along with an immunisation summary dashboard via Power BI.

The four operational reports, including national data that can be filtered by region and/or district, and their key purposes are:

• Immunisation Events Given used to show details of vaccines given at a location within a date range for the past five years.
• 6-week Immunisation Events Given used to track the uptake of 6-week immunisations during the period from 1 April 2024 to 30 June 2025.
• Childhood Immunisation Planned Events (CHIPE) used to identify the immunisation status of tamariki under the age of 6 years against the National Immunisation Schedule (NIS).
• Youth Immunisation Planned Events (YIPE) used to identify the immunisation status of consumers against the NIS, specifically for 11-year-old Tdap and HPV immunisation events.

AIR administrators

AIR administrators currently have access to three additional NHI-level reports to support their roles. These operational reports and their key purposes are:

• Population Identification used to monitor your complete population, including those who are under six years of age and the consumers flows in and out of your district.
• HepB Serology used to identify children who have received a dose of HepB and/or HBIG within seven days of birth. Used to follow up with general practice to ensure that the 9-month serology results are sent to the AIR.
• Match Quality used to investigate record with match quality items on planned events.

AIR admins can access a user guide for each report on the AIR Admin Resources Power BI pages on Confluence.

Data Sharing Partners

For all other health care providers who have a data sharing agreement in place, weekly data extracts continue to be provided via secure file transfer protocol (SFTP).

If you would like to find out more about a data sharing agreement, please contact Immunisation@health.govt.nz.

Immunisation summary dashboard

The immunisation summary dashboard is available in Power BI  providing  regions and districts with visibility of coverage, and can be filtered by PHO and general practice. Data for declined immunisation events is also included. Feedback and enhancement requests for this dashboard should be sent to the the Health New Zealand National Public Health Service (NPHS) Intelligence team nphsintelligence@health.govt.nz.

 
Operational reports

Those who also require NHI-level immunisation event information to perform their role can also request access to four pre-built interactive NHI-level reports available in Power BI. The four operational reports include national data and can be filtered by region and/or district. The reports and their purposes are:

• Immunisation Events Given used to show details of vaccines given at a location within a date range for the past five years.
• 6-week Immunisation Events Given used to track the uptake of 6-week immunisations during the period from 1 April 2024 to 30 June 2025.

Access and user guides

Access to only the immunisation summary dashboard or both operational reports and the summary dashboard is available. Requests should be sent to the AIR service desk specifying which access is required and include the approval of your manager.

A detailed user guide is available or each report and includes a data dictionary, known data issues, and information for data analysts. These guides are updated regularly. Please request the most recent guide from the AIR service desk.

Providers who use the AIR vaccinator portal have access to a vaccinations [MEDICAL-IN-CONFIDENCE] report which includes a list of the vaccinations that have been delivered at the facilities that you have access to. For privacy reasons, the report can only be used to support reconciling vaccinations given to pharmacy dispensary records, preparing payment claims, or providing a list of employees or contractors who have taken up the offer of privately funded vaccinations.

A guide on how to use this report is available in the AIR vaccinator portal help centre. If you require permission to export the report, you should lodge a request with the AIR service desk.

Development and refinement of the reporting functionality and data quality improvements are underway in collaboration with immunisation stakeholders Updates are made every three weeks and users receive an email outlining the updates on the day of each release.

We will continue to engage and communicate known issues, the plans to resolve these along with relevant timeframes. Please log issues, including examples, with the AIR service desk.

For any questions or technical support please lodge a request with the AIR service desk or email help@imms.min.health.nz.
