Advanced population-based methods to evaluate and inform immunisation policy and practice [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Heather Gidding (Principal investigator)

Brief description Despite the overall success of immunisation programs, preventable infections continue to occur, with Aboriginal children suffering the most. I will study the health and vaccination records for 1.95 million children (98,000 Aboriginal) in New South Wales and Western Australia to see who is most at risk of vaccine preventable infections and why. The findings will aid development of strategies to target high-risk children and to optimise the benefits obtained from Australia’s immunisation program.
