[1] Unknown refers to the Indigenous status of a patient has not been recorded in the medical record. Given the different requirements for immunisation (see above), it is important to identify the indigenous status of patients.
[2] The non-target group are patients with no immunisation recorded and who do not require immunisation at this time. The filters should be used to look at target groups.
