(i)

Provide a DHB NIR data administrator(s) in each DHB to support
data quality and management of immunisation data at the local
level, including referral processes for overdue children.

1.9 PHOs/PHO primary care providers will:

(a) sign the NIR Authorised User Agreement and agree to abide by
NIR security and privacy policies, and operational processes as
per NIR Privacy Policy and operational manuals;

(b) accept (or decline) “nominated provider” status for any individual
who (or whose parent/caregiver) nominates the PHO provider as
his/her nominated immunisation provider, when registering on
the NIR;

(c) send vaccination event data (given or declined, as per the
appended data table) for all events on the childhood
immunisation schedule in the Ministry approved electronic
format or approved paper forms to the NIR:

• for all individuals that are enrolled in the PHO; and

• all individuals who attend the provider for vaccination
events as casual users.

(d) register and send vaccination event data (given or declined, as
per the appended data table) to the NIR on all MeNZB™
immunisations given and any concurrent immunisations given to
individuals enrolled in the PHO or casual users. This is
mandatory for vaccine safety and efficacy monitoring, with no
“opt off” NIR option for MeNZB™ recipients;

(e) register on the NIR individuals in the “birth cohort” age group
when they are not registered on the NIR directly from maternity
data extracts - for example, new migrants and home births
presenting in primary care for immunisations;

(f) notify the NIR when an individual in the “birth cohort” (or their
parent/guardian) wishes to “opt off” having any future
immunisation data recorded on the NIR;

(g) update individuals’ demographic information as required, at a
vaccine event;

(h) provide required data on provider identification and
demographics (as per the date table appended);

(i) supply additional data (on forms supplied by the Ministry of
Health) to the NIR, in specific circumstances, as per clause 1.7
above;

(j) perform a “Status Query” from the NIR to determine the current
immunisation status of the individual and transfer this
information on to the Patient Management System (PMS).
