The Department of Health and Aged Care has reviewed the COVID-19 Vaccine Primary Care Onboarding Pack (Onboarding Pack) and developed a streamlined version to assist sites.
Version 10 of the Onboarding Pack includes essential information about the onboarding process for the COVID-19 Vaccination Program for all primary care vaccination sites, including general practice, community pharmacies and Aboriginal and Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) and using CVAS.
Information on vaccines, eligibility and other resources that require regular updates have been developed as Factsheets and Attachments to the Onboarding Pack to assist the Department in ensuring that any ATAGI announcements about vaccine types or updates, or other program changes can be distributed to sites, without the need to update the whole onboarding pack.
These Factsheets and Attachments include:
Vaccine Factsheets:
- Pfizer 6 months to 4 years (Maroon Cap)
- Pfizer 5-11 years (Orange Cap)
- Pfizer Bivalent BA.1 18 years+ (grey cap)
- Pfizer Bivalent BA.4-5 12 years+ (grey cap)
- Moderna Bivalent BA. 4-5 PFS
- Novavax
Posters:
- Pfizer Bivalent Comparison poster
- Vaccine Comparison Poster
- ATAGI recommended COVID-19 doses and vaccines Poster
- Air Codes Table
- Don’t Forget to Check
- COVID-19 Vaccine Storage poster
Other:
- COVID-19 Vaccine Transfer Policy
- Service Finder and Online Bookings
- MBS Payments
- Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) for COVID-19 vaccines
Remember: It is the professional obligation of all sites to ensure they are up to date with ATAGI advice and program requirements by regularly reviewing the material provided by the Department.
