RACGP rejects mandatory accreditation push after vaccine bungle
College president Dr Harry Nespolon says accreditation should remain a voluntary professional development exercise

Immunisation Coalition chair Professor Robert Booy made the call arguing there was a significant public health risk in practices not being subject to routine assessments.
