• Strategies to increase vaccination uptake

  Tree of community informed strategies to increase childhood vaccination rates

  This resource provides a visual summary of some practical strategies (in tree foliage) that health services may want to use to improve childhood vaccination rates in communities with known socioeconomic disadvantage and little ideological opposition to vaccination. 

  Immunisation stakeholders across Australia are invited to use and adapt the ‘tree’ to their local needs when designing tailored strategies to help more families get their children vaccinated on time. Strategies included in the tree are not meant to be exhaustive; there may be other localised strategies helpful in addressing childhood undervaccination.

  Communicating with people who are unvaccinated against COVID-19

  This resource provides a brief summary of perspectives on COVID-19 vaccines from unvaccinated adults living in Australia who were interviewed in late 2021. Informed by these findings, social science researchers at NCIRS and the University of New South Wales, Sydney developed recommendations to help improve communication between health authorities, providers, unvaccinated individuals and their friends and families.
