Adolescent vaccination coverage in Australia has been declining since the COVID-19 pandemic.  

This webinar will explore the latest evidence and practical strategies to help reverse the trend and strengthen community confidence in immunisation.  

The session is intended for anyone who has a role in supporting adolescent health – including public health professionals, educators, school staff, nurses, general practitioners and pharmacists.  

Expert speakers will share insights and practical strategies to support vaccine confidence and uptake among young people and their parents and carers.

The webinar will cover:

• current trends in adolescent vaccination coverage in Australia
• the adolescent immunisation schedule
• the latest Sharing Knowledge About Immunisation (SKAI) research into the barriers and drivers of adolescent vaccination
• practical strategies to support vaccine confidence and uptake among teenagers.

The session will also introduce SKAI Adolescent – a new information suite on the SKAI website that is designed to support families to make informed decisions about adolescent immunisation.
