Childhood vaccination coverage is rising, with the latest National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) influenza data reporting a national increase of children vaccinated with at least one influenza vaccine.
In Victoria, cases of influenza (flu) and COVID-19 are increasing, while respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases remain high after peaking in July. Health service visits for respiratory illnesses have also been increasing.
Every patient consultation provides an opportunity to review a patient’s immunisation history and vaccination status, while talking through any questions or concerns they may have about vaccination.
