New vaccine tool
November 8, 2013
Pharmacists are being urged
to direct patients to Vaccine Hub
(www.vaccinehub.com.au) to
access the most up-to-date
immunisation information for
each stage of life including prepregnancy,
early parenthood
(babies and young children),
adolescence and adulthood.
An initiative of Sanofi Pasteur,
it’s described as a digital one-stop
shop for vaccine information, and
is based on details from a range of
sources including the Australian
National Immunisation Handbook,
the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention website and the
World Health Organization.
It features an article library and
comprehensive guide to common
diseases such as influenza, mumps
and rubella as well as travel related
conditions including typhoid, yellow
fever and Japanese encephalitis.
National Medical Advisor for
Travel Doctor – TMVC, Dr Tony
Gherardin said, “Vaccine Hub is
an important digital tool to help
parents understand their child’s
immunisation needs and help
adults better understand how to
protect their own health through
vaccination.”
