Immunisations:
A Shield for Public Health
Immunisations funded by the Australian government are crucial for protecting individuals and the broader community from serious infectious diseases.
These vaccinations are provided for free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP), ensuring that all eligible Australians, including infants, children, adults, and high-risk groups, have access to life-saving vaccines.
Importance of Immunisations
01
Prevention of Serious Diseases
Vaccines protect individuals from severe illnesses such as measles, whooping cough, influenza, and meningococcal disease. Many of these infections can lead to hospitalisation, long-term complications, or even death.
02
Herd Immunity
High vaccination rates reduce the spread of diseases, protecting vulnerable individuals who cannot be vaccinated, such as newborns or people with weakened immune systems.
03
Free and Accessible
The Australian government funds immunisations to ensure cost is not a barrier, making vaccines widely accessible to those who need them.
04
Reduction in Healthcare Costs
Preventing illness through immunisation reduces the burden on the healthcare system by minimising hospital admissions, doctor visits, and the need for medications or long-term treatments.
05
Protection Across All Life Stages
The NIP provides vaccinations for different age groups, from newborns to older adults, ensuring continued protection throughout life.
06
Travel and Work Requirements
Some immunisations are essential for travel to certain countries and for specific workplaces, such as healthcare or childcare, reducing the risk of disease transmission.
07
Safe and Effective
Vaccines undergo rigorous testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness before being approved for use in Australia.
