The problem
Intervention: Assessment of influenza vaccination recording through three data sources: parental report, healthcare provider records, and the Australian Immunisation Register
Who it was tested with: 389-395 children aged ≥6 months to <18 years with special risk medical conditions attending Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Influenza vaccination status was ascertained from the child's parent, immunisation provider and the AIR. Concordance was made using the Kappa index and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated." This describes a validation study comparing three reporting sources without a defined intervention group or control, making it a cross-sectional assessment of data reliability rather than an intervention evaluation.
Single-site study with children attending a hospital for special risk medical conditions; findings may not generalise to broader vaccination populations. Cross-sectional design prevents assessment of causal factors for reporting discrepancies.
