Vaccine preventable diseases and vaccination coverage in Australia 2001 to 2002.

Abstract

Volume 28, Supplement 2, December 2004 This, the third biennial report on vaccine preventable diseases and vaccine coverage in Australia, brings together the four most important national sources of routinely collected data about vaccine preventable diseases and vaccination (deaths, notifications, hospitalisations and vaccination coverage) for all age groups between 2001 and 2002. The general trend towards improved control of disease and improved vaccine coverage is evident, particularly in the childhood years. Detailed results are available in 14 individual chapters.
