A new public awareness campaign is aiming to improve childhood vaccination rates.
Despite maintaining relatively high routine vaccinations among children in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a downward trend in childhood immunisation coverage rates over the past two years, particularly for First Nations children.
The campaign, with the theme ‘one more way you keep them safe’, highlights the importance of vaccinating children according to the National Immunisation Program (NIP) schedule, emphasising that vaccination is just one more of the many things parents and carers can do to keep their kids safe.
The campaign encourages parents and carers to seek information from trusted sources and reassures them about the benefits of childhood vaccination.
