Australia’s child immunisation rates are on the rise, a new report from the National Health Performance Authority reveals. Figures from 2014-2015 show 90.9 per cent of all children aged 1, 2 and 5 years were fully immunised. However, there still remains a large discrepancy between areas with high vaccination rates and areas with poorer levels.
