31 MarVaccination record keeping and changes to testing of confirmed cases
The Department of Education and Training has released a template COVID-19 Vaccination Status Register to support the collection, record keeping and holding of vaccination information of education workers. Services are only required to sight the vaccination certificate and collect and keep current the information specified in the template. They are not required to hold a copy of the vaccination certificate.
Staff or children who have recovered are no longer required to get tested or isolate if they are re-exposed to a case within 8 weeks of ending their isolation period. This was previously 30 days. Therefore, any staff or child aged 3 to 5 years who tested positive and completed their 7-day isolation period are not required to participate in the RAT screening for 8 weeks after their release from isolation. After 8 weeks, all persons must follow the relevant advice depending on the type of contact they are.
