Q Fever vaccination

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 Q-VAX® (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
• Requesting a copy by contacting the Q Fever Register on 1300 733 837
   

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.
