Information for health professionals and the wider sector is gradually moving. Until mid-2026, information will either be here, or on our other website — tewhatuora.govt.nz.
Signing up to use the Aotearoa Immunisation Register
Information about signing up to use the AIR.
The AIR Vaccinator Portal
The AIR vaccinator portal is used to record all vaccine types and view immunisation history.
The portal is used for providers that do not have an integrated patient management system (PMS). If you are using a system that is integrated with the AIR, then you do not need to use the vaccinator portal.
To use the AIR vaccinator portal, each health facility needs to appoint a facility manager who will complete their sign-up first.
The facility manager role enables you as health providers to have control of who can use the AIR to record immunisation outcomes at your site. A facility is a single site where vaccines are provided. A facility manager must be in place before the vaccinating workforce can be onboarded to a facility.

The AIR Administration System
The AIR administration system is used by the AIR administrator workforce to manage the AIR. Functionality includes:
- onboarding users
- correcting consumer records
- managing data errors.
New users who need to sign up to use the AIR Administration System must lodge a request with our service desk. The request must come with district lead approval.
Whaihua for newborn enrolment
The newborn enrolment service is part of a standalone solution using the Whaihua system. It is used by AIR administrators and newborn enrolment coordinators to support the nomination of a newborn to a general practice to improve timely access to immunisation services.
Arrange for your District Lead to submit a request on your behalf with our service desk.
Whaihua for Outreach Immunisation Services (OIS)
OIS is part of a standalone solution using the Whaihua system to support the coordination of Tier 2 Outreach Services.
Whaihua OIS manages engagement with outreach referrals and allows users to:
- initiate outreach services
- assign a provider to these services
- connect with people being offered an immunisation
- record outcomes of these cases.
To sign up to use the Whaihua for OIS service, lodge a request with our service desk.

Power BI access for specified AIR operational reports is available to:
