Immunisation

An Australian, State and Territory Government initiative, the Immunise Australia Program aims to increase national immunisation rates.

More information for health care providers about immunisation and vaccine-preventable diseases is available on the Immunise Australia Program website, including:

• the National Immunisation Program Schedule (NIPS);
• reporting adverse reactions to vaccines;
• schedule splitting and ‘catch-up’ doses; and
• vaccine preparation, administration, storage and handling.
