National Immunisation Catch-up Calculator (NICC)
The NICC supports providers to plan catch-up vaccination for children under 10 years. New updates:
- The NICC is also being expanded to support children under 10 years who are medically at-risk.
- The business rules (like the due/overdue rules for the AIR), which underpin how the NICC generates a catch-up schedule, will be available for download.
- While the current release (2.0.0) will support only one medically at-risk condition at a time, newer releases in the future will progressively allow catch-ups to be generated for children under 10 years of age who may have multiple at-risk conditions.
- The NICC will also be expanded to include all people under 20 years of age in the coming months.
This information can be shared with immunisation providers and further information about the upgrade is available on the Australian Department of Health website.
If you experience any issues with the handbook website, app or NICC, please provide feedback on the AIH website.
