At the 9th Annual Immunisation Forum, we heard Dr. McGuinness explain how most dengue is from incoming travellers. Most dengue cases are asymptomatic whilst severe disease may require hospitalisation. During outbreaks, only Qdenga is available on SAS program. Not yet ATAGI recommended but that may change in next 18 months as it becomes available with TGA approval. Watch this space!

Creating awareness for the importance of immunisation.

The Immunisation Coalition is a not for profit organisation, and is the leading voice in whole-of-life immunisation in Australia, protecting all Australians against communicable diseases.

We collaborate with like-minded organisations such as Primary Health Networks (PHNs), Public Health Units, Government health departments and other groups that fight vaccine hesitancy.

We are a champion for immunisation education, providing timely, accurate and scientifically informed information about vaccines and the diseases they prevent.
