Deleting immunisations uploaded to the AIR

Immunisations are recorded in Communicare as clinical items. You can delete immunisations that have been uploaded to the AIR but you must complete additional steps.

Note: Any immunisation that you delete from Communicare must also be deleted from the AIR if it has already been uploaded.

To delete an immunisation uploaded to the AIR:

Check the upload status of the immunisation in File > Online Claiming > AIR Claims tab.

Tip: Set Show sent claims to also list immunisations that have already been uploaded.
In a patient's record, on the Detail > Immunisation tab, select the immunisation that was incorrectly recorded.
Click Delete.
On the Progress Note tab, for the date on which the immunisation was recorded and its clinical item, add a progress note stating why the immunisation was deleted.
Update the patient's immunisation on the AIR site, which may involve contacting Services Australia directly. For more information, see https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/how-to-update-encounter-using-air-site-through-hpos.

After the immunisation has been deleted from the AIR site, the AIR Portal in Communicare should be updated.
