Collection and Usage Attributes
VIVAS serves two functions:

- It was an immunisation register and was used to capture vaccination events for programs for Children, School Based Vaccination program (SBVP), and Other 'at risk' groups to manage outbreaks. The vaccination register function of VIVAS ceased on 01/04/2019.

- It is also a Vaccine Administration System, that enables Queensland Health Immunisation Program (QHIP) to coordinate the procurement and distribution of government funded vaccines to vaccine service providers, and to minimise vaccine wastage by ensuring that vaccines are used before expiry date and kept under strict temperature-controlled conditions.
Information relevant to vaccine distribution to service providers (what, when, who) and how they manage the vaccines including details of cold chain breaches.
