FAQ

How is the Australian COVID vaccine queue position estimated?

The calculator assigns the highest matching 2021 National Rollout Strategy phase from age, occupation, and health_condition, then ranks inside that phase with older people first. queue_position is one plus people in earlier phases and earlier bands.

What happens if age is negative?

The task fails with invalid_input and the message that age must not be negative. Invalid input is not billed.

Which occupations map to Phase 1a?

quarantine_border, frontline_healthcare, and aged_disability_care, plus anyone with health_condition care_resident. Other healthcare, emergency services, and meat processing map to Phase 1b.

Does an underlying health condition move someone earlier?

Yes for adults: health_condition underlying places people aged 16 and over in Phase 1b unless a 1a occupation or care-resident status already applies. Children under 16 stay in Phase 3 under the original adult-first table.

Is this an official waitlist, and what does it cost?

No. It is an educational reconstruction of published 2021 cohort sizes, not medical advice and not a government booking tool. The browser tool is free. API requests use prepaid KIT balance at $0.002 per successful call; invalid input is not billed.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-australia

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-australia \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"age":72,"occupation":"other","health_condition":"none"}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-australia", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "age": 72,
    "occupation": "other",
    "health_condition": "none"
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-australia",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "age": 72,
    "occupation": "other",
    "health_condition": "none"
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-australia", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"age":72,"occupation":"other","health_condition":"none"}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"age":72,"occupation":"other","health_condition":"none"}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/health/vaccine-queue-australia", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "age": 72,
  "occupation": "other",
  "health_condition": "none"
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "health.vaccine_queue_australia",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing
