Introduction: General practice immunisation audits do not always match the national rates recorded on the New Zealand (NZ) National Immunisation Register (NIR).
Aim: To complete audits at one general practice for infants requiring the primary series of immunisations (6-week, 3-month and 5-month vaccines) over a 12-month period and compare findings with the NIR audit.
Methods: A manual and electronic practice management system (PMS) audit were compared with identical NIR audit parameters for completion of the 5-month vaccination from 1 February 2011 to 1 February 2012.
