If the nurse in the practice has given the vaccination what provider number should be recorded against the notification?

You should record the GP Medicare Provider number of the person who would normally oversee the patient.

Any records in medical software where you have recorded the notification using the nurse immunisation provider number and you are not able to amend the record(s) inside the medical software clearly handwrite the Medicare provider number on the report.  If there is more than one instance of this on a report you need to do this for each record.  Where you make hand written changes you need to make sure the writing is very clear and legible.
