PenCS has developed an immunisations guide to help reports, recipes and guides.
The National Immunisation Program (NIP) Schedule is a series of immunisations given at specific times throughout a person’s life. The immunisations range from birth through to adulthood. The Department of Health website details the NIP Schedule, changes to the NIP Schedule, flu (influenza) vaccines, catch-up immunisations, state and territory schedules, and international immunisation schedules.
The NIP also has a Following Vaccination – What to Expect and What to do Factsheet.This can be ordered as a tear-off A4 pad and provides easy-to-read information on common vaccine reactions.
NSW Health has the current schedule available on their website.
All vaccines under the National Immunisation Program are ordered via Toll Healthcare at the NSW Vaccine Centre. The NSW Vaccine Centre has assembled a helpful User guide for immunisation providers resource. You can contact the NSW Vaccine centre on 1300 656 132.
The Department of Health have a page dedicated to answering questions people have about immunisations. On the About Immunisation page people can find information on how immunisations protects them and their family, and how to get started. This page may assist health professionals in breaking down immunisation information and initiating conversations with people who may be vaccine hesitant.
It’s important to receive vaccinations – especially those for pregnancy and childhood – on time. NSW Health has information on their website and on the Save the Date to Vaccinate App.
The Immunisation Coalition has developed the PneumoSmart Vaccination Tool based on the pneumococcal disease vaccination recommendations in the Australian Immunisation Handbook.
