The Federal Government’s new $11 million COVID-19 and flu vaccination ad campaign will not convince parents to have their children immunised, according to a leading vaccine uptake expert.

Paediatrician Associate Professor Margie Danchin says the problem with the campaign is it fails to address why people are hesitant to have a COVID-19 booster or their child vaccinated.
