Abstract

This 7th annual immunisation coverage report shows data for 2013 from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) and National Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination Program Register. From July 2013, 2 new combined vaccines were included on the National Immunisation Program (NIP): Haemophilus influenzae type b-meningococcal C conjugate and measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV), the latter involving moving the 2nd dose of MMR vaccine from 48 months to 18 months of age. For the first time, from December 2013, the definition of ‘fully immunised’ at 12 months of age included pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. This report includes coverage in 2013 for ‘fully immunised’ and individual vaccines by Indigenous status at standard age milestones, and assessment of timeliness of vaccination.
