How to boost GPs' patient vaccination rates
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
Vaccines save lives. Yet the likelihood an older Australian is vaccinated varies hugely by GP.
For some GPs, 90 per cent of older patients are vaccinated for flu. For others, only 40 per cent are vaccinated. For COVID, shingles and pneumococcal, the gap is even bigger.
In this podcast, Peter Breadon, Health Program Director, and Anika Stobart, the Senior Associate, discuss their new report, Patchy protection: How to boost GPs' patient vaccination rates. Hosted by Kat Clay.
