Immunisation is important in protecting children from harmful infectious diseases. Our most recent immunisation report shows the large majority of Australian children continue to be immunised and that rates have increased over time, but there is room for improvement in some local areas. The report focuses on immunisation rates for 5-year-old children and also includes results for children aged 1 and 2. Rates are presented for the 31 Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, more than 300 smaller local areas and around 1500 postcodes across Australia. Rates are also presented for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
This report was first published on the MyHealthyCommunities website.
Note: Since publication in June 2017, figures have been revised following updates to methods and revised information from states and territories. Please see Immunisation rates for children in 2016–17 for the revised results.
