  • the route of administration for Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) vaccines
  • information about the vaccine type for all vaccines prescribed by the Australian Immunisation Register Rule 2015 (this includes COVID-19, influenza, National Immunisation Program and JEV vaccines)

Under the ‘vaccine type’ field, vaccination providers can choose one of the following options:

  • antenatal
  • NIP/Commonwealth
  • private
  • state program

The antenatal option should be selected when the person presenting is pregnant at the time the vaccine is administered, regardless of whether the vaccine is funded privately, under the NIP or by a state or territory program.
