Since April 15 2024, providers have no longer been able to report Q fever vaccine information to the Q Fever Register. Instead, providers should now report this information to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).

To ensure comprehensive records continue to be maintained for the one-off vaccine, every time QVAX® (Q fever vaccine) is administered to a patient, vaccination providers should report this, together with natural immunity information, directly to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).

IMPORTANT:
Individuals with an existing record in the Australian Q Fever Register prior to 15 April 2024 will only be able to access their information, including their Q Fever eStatement, until 30th June 2025. After this date, individuals will no longer be able to access their information.


Individuals can access their Q Fever eStatement by either:

  • Logging onto the Q Fever Register website and downloading a copy; or
  • Requesting a copy by contacting the Q Fever Register on 1300 733 837 (Note: An individual’s identity must be verified before the release of any information.)

Since Q-VAX® is a one-off immunisation that must not be given a second time, nor given to anyone who has previously had Q fever, maintaining accurate records on the AIR means that important information is immediately available to you and your fellow health practitioners.

For more information on reporting information to the AIR is available here.
