Description of the website

We are a community based, unfunded group who wish to improve vaccination uptake in our region, which has the lowest vaccination rates in Australia, at just 47% of 5 year olds being fully vaccinated.

Our website is written for the layperson wishing to learn more about vaccine safety but also useful for GPs are other health care professionals who wish to direct their patients to a comprehensive, user friendly source of information.

We provide evidence based information on the diseases vaccines are designed to protect against; we address the common myths and misinformation surrounding vaccines via a ‘FAQ’ page; we provide tools for the layperson to be able to determine what is credible, science based information; we have flyers and posters for download; and we provide links to credible studies and vaccination experts like the WHO, and NCIRS here in Australia.
