74186 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter April to June 2024 in actioning the recommendation ‘Implement a mechanism for registration of pregnant people so they can be pre-called and recalled for antenatal vaccination, and their infants can be proactively enrolled at birth’ under ‘Priority Area 3: Antenatal immunisations’ within the ‘Initial Priorities for the National Immunisation Programme in Aotearoa 2022’?
Hon Dr Shane Reti: I am advised that during the April to June 2024 quarter, the national Maternity Clinical Information System (BadgerNet) project continued to progress. This is being rolled out to districts in phases and will combine maternity data into a shared record that is available for all hospitals for maternity and neonatal care.
