The September 2022 childhood immunisation coverage data by Primary Health Network (PHN) has been published by the Department of Health for all children and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
CESPHN has seen considerable improvement across coverage rates as well as PHN ranking, with notable improvement in the 2-year-old age group. CESPHN will continue to work together with general practices with the aim to achieve the national target of 95% coverage across all age groups.
If you practice would like to receive an Overdue Childhood Vaccination Report for your patients, please contact immunisation@cesphn.com.au
CESPHN is offering community organisations supporting individuals living in the region an exciting opportunity to curate a program to support the needs of their communities. An EOI is currently available for the Building Community Vaccination Awareness program, which aims to expand awareness of the importance of vaccination in vulnerable communities. The aim is to build the capacity of community organisations to equip their communities with the necessary knowledge to make an informed decision about vaccination.
Increasing vaccination coverage rates will contribute to improved health outcomes for people while also reducing unnecessary utilisation of health services, due to less likelihood of people seeking treatment for vaccine preventable diseases.
We have extended the deadline for applications to midday Friday 16 December, for more information and to apply, visit our website.
On 5 December 2022, NSW Health reported that a woman in her late teens died from meningococcal disease. This is the third death due to meningococcal disease in NSW this year.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent the harmful effects of meningococcal disease – a rare, but serious and sometimes fatal infection. Immunisation providers are encouraged to follow up eligible patients who are overdue for their meningococcal vaccine. For assistance with accessing a list of overdue patients, contact immunisation@cesphn.com.au.
