What happens to my details on CIRV (Central Immunisation Records Victoria)?

If you have previously used CIRV for your immunisation appointment, this information will continue to be held on the CIRV platform managed by the Victorian Government’s Department of Health. Council may access this information in accordance with Whitehorse Privacy Policy

Why has Council moved to Vitavo?

Vitavo is a user-friendly system that will allow users to:

• View which public sessions are currently available and book appointments
• Book and manage individual and family appointments online
• Provide digital consent during the booking process, which reduces onsite administration at your appointment, and reduces paper usage
• Receive confirmation emails for vaccines administered
• Pay online for fee payable vaccines
• Receive appointment reminders
• Receive reminders to book future appointments when you or your child is due for their next vaccines.

Real time reporting to the Australian immunisation register (AIR) means your records will be updated immediately.

What will happen to my records on Vitavo?

Please see Vitavo’s privacy policy for more information.

Important information for attending sessions

• Families must have an appointment to attend a session
• You must not attend our session if:
  • you or your child have been diagnosed with COVID-19
  • you or your child are unwell or have the following symptoms – fever over 38.5 degrees, cough, shortness of breath or fatigue
• Arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your appointment. You may be asked to wait if you arrive too early.
  • If you are late to your appointment, you will need to reschedule or contact 9262 6197 to discuss.
• Wear loose-fitting clothes to make it easier to administer the vaccine.

After your immunisation

It is recommended you stay 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine to ensure you or your child leaves in good health.

Adverse events following immunisation

All adverse events following immunisations in Victoria should be reported to SAEFVIC (the Surveillance of adverse events following vaccination in the community) for assessment and expert advice.

Any event felt to be significant following immunisation should be reported. You do not need to report common/minor/expected reactions, however any vaccine reaction which has affected a child's confidence can and should be reported. Report an adverse event following immunisation
