Collection and usage attributes | |
| Population group age from: | Children: Persons aged 5 years
Adults: Indigenous Australians aged 50 years or over; non-Indigenous Australians aged 65 years or over |
|---|---|
| Computation description: | Reported by each disease vaccinated against.
Fully vaccinated 5 year old children: Children aged 60–63 months vaccinated against Hepatitis B, Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, Polio, Pneumococcal disease, rotavirus, measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal C, and varicella. For Indigenous children, 'fully vaccinated' is defined as all vaccinated against all the conditions listed above, plus Hepatitis A. |
| Computation: | 100 × (Numerator ÷ Denominator)
Calculated separately for children, Indigenous Australians aged 50 years or over, and non-Indigenous Australians aged 65 years or over. |
| Numerator: | Children: Number of children aged 5 years who have been fully vaccinated according to the National Immunisation Program Schedule
Adults: Number of Indigenous Australians aged 50 years or over, and non-Indigenous Australians aged 65 years or over, who have been vaccinated for influenza and pneumococcal disease |
| Numerator data elements: | |
| Denominator: | Children: Number of children aged 60-63 months on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register Adults: Population of Indigenous Australians aged 50 years or over, and non-Indigenous Australians aged 65 years or over |
| Denominator data elements: | |
| Disaggregation data elements: | |
| Comments: | Specified disaggregation: State/territory: by Indigenous status, remoteness area and SEIFA of residence
Available disaggregation: State/territory: by Indigenous status, remoteness area and SEIFA of residence Data for 2008-09 availability: For children, vaccination status as at June 2009 available September 2009. Most recent data available for 2010 CRC baseline report: Children: vaccination status as at June 2009 Adults: 2006 |

| Organisation responsible for providing data: | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Department of Health and Ageing |
| Benchmark: | NPA on Essential Vaccines:
• Maintain and/or improve immunisation rates of 90% for children aged five years under the National Immunisation Program Schedule. • Percentage of Indigenous children immunised compared to non-Indigenous children under the National Immunisation Program Schedule compared to previous year. • Maintain or increase percentage of Australians aged 65 years and over who receive current year vaccine for influenza and initial/booster vaccine against pneumococcal disease compared to previous year. • Progress towards increased coverage of eligible Indigenous Australians immunised against influenza and invasive pneumococcal diseases under the National Influenza and Pneumococcal Indigenous Initiative. |
| Further data development / collection required: | Specification: Long-term
The quality of Indigenous identification in the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register needs to be assessed. |
| Other issues caveats: | Disaggregation by Indigenous status, remoteness and SEIFA within individual states/territories is subject to data quality considerations.
The data quality statement should note that the sources for adult vaccinations may warrant further development to provide better estimates. Possible gaps in coverage due to unknown vaccination status of children less than 5 years migrating to Australia. It is possible this could be accounted for using Medicare data. Can be modified to add vaccines targeted at teenagers/young adults, e.g. HPV (cervical cancer), Hepatitis B. Current reporting from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register of children who are 'fully vaccinated' is based on a subset of seven of the conditions specified for this indicator. |
