"Each year, vaccines prevent thousands of deaths and hospitalisations in
Australia.

But millions of high-risk older Australians aren’t getting recommended
vaccinations against COVID, the flu, pneumococcal disease and shingles.

Some people are more likely to miss out, such as migrant communities and those
in rural areas and poorer suburbs.

As our new Grattan report shows, a policy reset to encourage more Australians
to get vaccinated could save lives and help ease the pressure on our struggling
hospitals."
