What an immunisation history statement is

You can use your immunisation history statement to:

• keep track of the immunisations you’ve had
• see if any immunisations are overdue or will be due soon
• see if you have an immunisation medical exemption recorded
• see if your child is on an active catch up schedule
• prove your immunisations are up to date for education, employment and travel purposes.

If you have a child under 14, you can do these things for them too. You can also check that your child has had the immunisations they need for:

• Child Care Subsidy
• the full rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A
• the 2017-18 Family Tax Benefit Part A supplement.

If you think an immunisation is missing from your immunisation history statement, ask your vaccination provider to update the AIR.
