As the winter season ends, it is time to reflect on the remarkable efforts of our member services in providing immunisations to build the community’s immunity for winter in 2024. We hope that each of you successfully implemented initiatives that worked well in your communities.
This year, we were able to assist 18 member services providing grant funding to enhance their immunisation programs. We aim to continually seek ongoing opportunities to support your organisations and to explore how we can further assist your efforts.
According to NCIRS reports, there have been noticeable and consistent improvements in vaccination uptake among Aboriginal communities across all age groups. However, the reported data often fails to capture the tremendous contributions that ACCHS continues to make for our communities.
Whether or not you received a specific grant, we would love to hear about the immunisation activities and the innovative strategies that worked best in your area. We are also keen to hear about the barriers you encountered, and suggestions on how AH&MRC can provide support.
If you like to share your story, please email us at publichealth@ahmrc.org.au. Alternatively, you can complete the short survey through the link below:
Immunisation Activities – 2024 Winter Season
The survey was created for grant recipients however we are happy for ACCHS to complete the survey to share your experience and feedback any suggestions as to how we may be able to help your ongoing immunisation efforts.
