Smart vaccinations
July 10, 2012
NPS is empowering would-be
travellers with vaccination information
via a new online knowledge hub.
The hub provides detailed and
up-to-date info about travel vaccines,
including who should have them,
what infections they protect against,
and the possible side effects.
The hub also includes specific
information about vaccines for
specific groups of people like
travellers, pregnant women and
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people, as well as information
about all the vaccines available in
Australia, including routine
childhood vaccines, what diseases
they protect against, who should
have the vaccines and when, and
the possible side effects.
“Many illnesses caught while
overseas are avoidable if you have
a vaccination prior to your
departure and it’s important to
know which vaccinations you need
to have for the countries you are
visiting,” NPS said.
