Childhood and adolescent vaccination coverage hits five-year low in Australia
New data from the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) show childhood and adolescent vaccination coverage has fallen for the fifth consecutive year – a trend that experts warn could lead to avoidable health consequences and disease outbreaks.
In 2025, fully vaccinated coverage for children fell again to 90.5% at 12 months, 88.4% at 24 months and 92.5% at 60 months of age – down 4.3, 3.7 and 2.3 percentage points, respectively, since 2020 – leaving tens of thousands of young children unprotected against diseases such as measles, whooping cough (pertussis), diphtheria and polio.
Adolescent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage dropped to 78.7% in girls and 75.6% in boys – down 7.9 and 9.3 percentage points, respectively, since 2020 – well below the 2030 target of 90% outlined in Australia’s strategy to achieve cervical cancer elimination by 2035.
As childhood and adolescent vaccination coverage decline further, families and the wider community – including very young babies and vulnerable people – face a greater risk of severe illness, hospitalisation or death from vaccine preventable diseases.
Experts are calling for urgent, coordinated implementation of the National Immunisation Strategy 2025–2030 to overcome vaccine access and acceptance barriers, close equity gaps and protect Australians from avoidable infectious diseases and HPV-related cancers in the future.
