The National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) has a**lysed 2025 vaccination coverage and found the proportion of one-year-olds up to date with vaccinations was at its lowest point in 12 years.

STORY: https://ab.co/4s5NS0i

Overall, childhood vaccination coverage at the one, two and five-year milestones declined for the fifth year in a row.

"Across the board, every age group, we're continuing to see that vaccine coverage is falling and it's been falling year-on-year now since 2020," NCIRS director Kristine Macartney said.

Professor Macartney said the post-COVID-19 data for vaccination rates of two-year-olds was particularly alarming.

"We're seeing for the first time now that coverage has dropped below 90%. One out of every 10 two-year-olds isn't up to date with these life-saving vaccines," she said.

"In 2025, there were 80,000 children in Australia who were not up to date with their vaccines … opening up a chance that they could have one of these terrible diseases that's otherwise completely preventable."

If coverage continued to decline on this trajectory, "we will absolutely see more deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases", she said.

"Very sadly, for the first time in around a decade, we saw two young babies die from whooping cough in the last two years."

Fewer teenagers were also getting the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which can prevent cervical, oral, a**l and other ge***al cancers, according to the data.

Less than 80% of adolescents are up to date with the HPV vaccine. The target is 90%.

Professor Macartney said adolescent HPV vaccination coverage has dropped to 78.7% in girls and 75.6% in boys — down 7.9% and 9.3%, respectively, since 2020.

She said that was a "startling" development.

"We were on track to become one of the first countries to eliminate cervical cancer, as well as I'd say many of the other cancers from this virus. But we will not get there unless we push protection back up," Professor Macartney said.
