Vaccination coverage surveillance data

Statistical information about childhood vaccination coverage is collated by:

Medicare Australia

The major functions of the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (the ACIR) are to:

• provide an accurate measure of the immunisation coverage of children in Australia under 7 years of age
• provide an effective management tool for monitoring immunisation coverage and service delivery.

For statistics about childhood vaccination see Australian Childhood Immunisation Register statistics.

See Australian Childhood Immunisation Register - Internet reports for secure site reports that are only available to health care providers.

National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS)

NCIRS conducts research and provides independent expert advice about all aspects of diseases which can be prevented by vaccination, particularly in children, including a national perspective on social and other issues related to immunisation.

For more information and research reports see NCIRS Surveillance Reports and NCIRS Fact Sheets.
