Each year, 4.1 million Australians miss out on free vaccinations under the National Immunisation Program (NIP).¹ The vast majority of these are adults¹ – putting them at increased risk of vaccine-preventable diseases like influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia and shingles.

Are you helping your patients to prevent these serious diseases?
Do you know who is eligible for free vaccination under the NIP?
 

Your actions can help to boost adult vaccination rates and help protect your patients from serious, yet preventable diseases.¹

Community Immunity is a one-stop, online immunisation toolbox, developed in conjunction with Australian practice nurses,
to help you optimise adult vaccination rates in your practice.

Thousands of practice nurses across Australia access valuable and practical resources from Community Immunity each year.

Applications are now open for the inaugural 2018/2019 ‘Championing Change’ Innovation Practice Nurse Grants.

Seqirus Australia’s innovation grants recognise practice nurses’ contributions to public health by supporting the implementation of innovative adult immunisation initiatives designed to boost coverage rates or improve the quality use of adult vaccines.

Three innovation grants to the value of $5,000 each, and sponsorship to attend the 2019 Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) National Conference, including travel, accommodation and registration, will be provided to the successful grant recipients, selected by the independent expert review panel.

Grant applications close 5pm AEST on Friday 22 June 2018.
