You are invited to register to attend the National Indigenous Immunisation Research Workshop 2013: lessons learnt and future directions Workshop.
Experts in Aboriginal infectious disease research are in Perth this week for the National Indigenous Immunisation Research Workshop (November 7-8).
Common myths about immunisation have been laid to rest in a new booklet written by top immunologists and published by the Australian Academy of Science.
Trial of new vaccine that could provide women with additional protection against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types known to cause cervical cancer.
Perth women are being invited to take part in a global study of an exciting new vaccine that could protect against cervical cancer
The main aim of the study is to provide timely surveillance data to public health authorities on severe influenza.
As COVID-19 vaccinations rolled out globally from late 2020, rules and recommendations regarding vaccine use in pregnancy shifted rapidly. Pre-registration COVID-19 vaccine trials excluded those who were pregnant. Initial Australian medical advice did not routinely recommend COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy, due to limited safety data and little perceived risk of local transmission.
Community perception of vaccine safety influences vaccine uptake. Our objective was to assess current vaccine safety monitoring by examining factors that may influence the availability of post-vaccination survey data, and thereby the specificity and sensitivity of existing signal detection methods.
Understanding patterns of bacterial carriage and otitis media (OM) microbiology is crucial for assessing vaccine impact and informing policy. The microbiology of OM can vary with geography, time, and interventions like pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs). We evaluated the microbiology of nasopharyngeal and middle ear effusions in children living in Western Australia, 11 years following the introduction of PCV13.
