The Immunisation Data Warehouse is part of a set of linked databases that enable analysis of primary care utilisation and funding by provider agency, health professional, or anonymous patient.
All monitoring is to be at the level of populations, localities, and providers.
The Immunisation Data Warehouse is not required to support patient recall, or any contact with named individuals. It will rely only on data that is currently collected, and no new data collections will be created. As this is a monitoring system rather than a patient recall system, monthly uploads of vaccination claims and birth data will be sufficient. The system will initial hold data from July 1998 onwards. It will be designed to store up to five year's worth of data online.
