Adding a planned catch up vaccination schedule
If a child or other patient is behind in their vaccinations, you can request a catch up schedule from the AIR.
For some Centrelink payments and services such as Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A or child care fee assistance, children must be fully immunised. Similarly, adults may require catch up vaccinations because of their health, age, lifestyle or occupation.
Catch-up vaccination aims to provide optimal protection against disease as quickly
as possible by completing a person’s recommended vaccination schedule in the
shortest but most effective time frame.
