Lead with the jab

Out-of-pocket costs, limited appointment availability, lack of opportunities to discuss vaccination with providers and eroding trust are stopping some Australian parents and caregivers from vaccinating their kids on time. New research by Australian experts outlines practical strategies to help improve childhood vaccine uptake.
