摘要：Currently, the routine reporting of immunisation coverage data from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register is done for 3 key milestone ages, nationally and by jurisdiction, at quarterly intervals. This reporting is limited in a number of ways as timeliness of receipt of vaccines is not captured, not all vaccines currently in the National Immunisation Program (NIP) are included and coverage is reported only at the jurisdictional level, with information about smaller geographic units not provided. The aim of this 1st annual immunisation coverage report is to highlight important trends and significant issues including overall immunisation coverage by Indigenous status and for individual vaccines in the NIP; timeliness of immunisation; and immunisation coverage mapping in smaller geographic areas.
