Natinal Immunisatin Register The Natinal Immunisatin Register (NIR) is designed t retain all Immunisatins given t individuals n the current childhd immunisatin schedule (fr eligible patients). Medtech will send Immunisatin data t the NIR when immunisatins are entered crrectly int Medtech. (this is dependent n the site being setup crrectly fr NIR and that the Patient has an Opted On status. Users have the ability t use a Status Query within Medtech t btain the immunisatin status f an individual. The status query will send a message via Healthlink t the NIR and the NIR will return the Immunisatin histry fr that patient via Healthlink int the Prvider Inbx within Medtech. 2
