RENEWED focus on increasing
childhood vaccination rates, easier
access to immunisation and more
support for vaccination providers
are among the 10 priorities the
WA Liberal National Government
has announced for the state’s
future management of preventable
diseases.
Health Minister John Day said the
WA Immunisation Strategy 2016-
2020 would target areas and groups
of concern.
“Research shows each $1 spent
on routine childhood vaccinations
saves the health system up to
$5 in direct medical costs, with
another $11 saved in indirect costs
such as time off work and loss of
productivity,” Day said.
Accessibility, communication and
education are key strategy features.
