Immunisation resources

The resources on these pages have been developed by NCIRS for use by immunisation providers and interested members of the public.

NCIRS strives to provide resources based on the latest evidence available. Resources are updated as new information and vaccines become available.

Resources include:

  • a series of detailed fact sheets designed for immunisation providers, covering both vaccine preventable diseases and vaccine safety
  • the Australian Immunisation Professionals network, an email discussion group for immunisation professionals
  • summaries of presentations made to the NCIRS immunisation journal club about relevant and topical aspects of immunisation and vaccine preventable diseases
  • information on vaccination coverage in Australia including estimates of childhood immunisation coverage and maps showing levels of coverage in different areas of Australia
  • an interactive MMR decision aid to help parents/carers decide whether to immunise their child with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine
  • some educational tools are provided for immunisation service providers
  • links to other sources of information relating to immunisation and vaccines
