Education and exploration of vaccination issues within Australia
Vaccination provides immunity against highly infectious illnesses that threaten our health. When majority of a population is vaccinated and immune to a disease, its transmission is contained and the population is protected. There are significant disparities between socioeconomic and racial groups across Australia. Pro-vax explores these inequalities by discussing possible reasons for the differences, and proposing strategies for overcoming the challenges and improve vaccine uptake within the community.
Immunisation and the spread of disease effects everyone, and if Australian’s band together to face future challenges we can hope for a brighter, disease free future.
We've created a quick survey to gain insight into public perspective on some key vaccination issues and attitudes. It only takes a few minutes to complete!
