Description

Australias childhood vaccination rates are plummeting, with full coverage for two-year-olds falling below ninety percent and five-year-olds dipping from ninety-four percent to ninety-two percent. This decline, starting around the Covid crisis, is attributed to online misinformation and pandemic effects. Measles and whooping cough cases are rising, signaling potential outbreaks like diphtheria. Parents face challenges like GP visit costs and busy schedules. Experts suggest simpler ad campaigns, more pharmacy options, and trusted professional chats to boost confidence and reach the ninety-five percent herd immunity goal.
