"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.
But after peaking in 2020, child vaccination in Australia is falling.
Governments need to implement a comprehensive strategy to boost vaccine uptake,
or risk exposing more children to potentially preventable infectious diseases."
