National School Immunisation System (SIS)

The data collection are made up of retrospective data entry records from paper records detailing the the processing of each school-going aged child who received a vaccination (if consented) or not. The data includes the person-identifying information of the child and one parent/guardian (or self if age appropriate) along with a record of the consent provided (or declined). It also includes data on children who were not vaccinated by virtue of non-attendance.

Purpose: The SIS is an electronic dataset which records all childhood vaccinations for children of School-going age. It also assists in the preparation and planning of vaccination sessions in schools and mop-up clinics as well as being used for statistical and activity analysis.

In-Scope: All vaccinations for children of school-going age.

Out-of-Scope: Baby & Toddler immunisations and adult Community Immunisations (Flu, Covid-19 etc.)

Coverage: National – all children of school age within the State.

SIS has collected data on School Immunisations since the Academic Year of 2010-2011.
