Ready for COVID-19 under NIPVIP.
COVID-19 claiming under NIPVIP and deleting services
The CVCP program ends on 30 September 2026. From 1 October, COVID-19 vaccinations move to the National Immunisation Program (NIP), and eligible COVID-19 vaccinations are claimed under NIPVIP. Light is ready for the change.
COVID-19 claiming from 1 October
Eligible NIP-funded COVID-19 vaccinations given from 1 October 2026 are claimed under NIPVIP.
A new NIP COVID-19 Eligibility field records which NIP criterion the patient meets – age, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander status, or severe immunocompromise. CVCP claims for vaccinations given up to 30 September can still be submitted until 31 October. Read more on the PPA website.
The NIP/Commonwealth vaccine type now displays as NIP.
