The worksheet is an aid to help the practice to find children who are not up to date and identify which immunisations are still required. As the vaccination pathways for different vaccine brands can differ the practice should check patient records where a child is listed as due or overdue. In the worksheets the overdue immunisation(s) will be displayed with a * next to the current count to assist in identifying the reason for the child being listed as overdue

A child's age in months determines how many doses of each immunisation should have been received. For example, by age 6 months a child should have had 3 doses of DTPa.
The number of doses for age will differ between States and Territories due to the needs of geographic and demographic conditions.
