Definition
Immunisation is highly effective in reducing morbidity and mortality caused by vaccine-preventable diseases. The National Immunisation Guidelines recommend that prisoners are vaccinated against hepatitis B and that females aged 19–26 years of age are vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV) (NHMRC 2008).

Guide for use:
The Vaccines administered cluster comprises two data elements that, in combination, describe the number of hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV) and meningococcal vaccines administered to prisoners during the National Prisoner Health Census period.
This is achieved by the combination of the two data elements: Establishment (prison)—type of vaccine administered, code N and Establishment (prison)—number of vaccines administered, number N[NN].
The Vaccines administered cluster describes the following information:
Vaccine type | Number |
Hepatitis B vaccine | N[NN] |
HPV vaccine | N[NN] |
Meningococcal vaccine | N[NN] |
