| Abstract | and population health. Australia’s National Immunisation Program has been active since 1997 and is regularly updated as new vaccines, technology and surveillance data become available. It is therefore important that GPs have access to the most up-to-date information and resources to best advise patients, especially more vulnerable groups including children, older people, pregnant women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Immunisation in Australia started in 1804 with the first smallpox vaccine, culminating in the National Immunisation Program (NIP), which began in 1997. Since then the program has expanded to include new vaccines, altered schedules and novel monitoring tools as new technology and evidence have become available. Since early 2019, there have been a number of changes to immunisation recommendations and this article aims to inform GPs on what is new, who to ask for help and where to find further information. Some practice points on vaccination are summarised in Box 1. |
