We need a new strategy to reverse falling vaccination rates in Australia
Child vaccination is one of the most cost-effective health interventions. It accounts for 40% of the global reduction in infant deaths since 1974 and has led to big health gains in Australia over the past two decades.
Australia has been a vaccination success story.
Ten years after we begun mass vaccination against polio in 1956, it was virtually eliminated.
Our child vaccination rates have been among the best in the world.
