The rates of children who are fully vaccinated across our region has been declining over recent years. Our most recent figures estimate that less than 90% of children in our region are fully vaccinated at two years of age, below the national target of 95% coverage. There remains a gap in coverage for First Nations children and there are several geographic areas with relatively low rates.

Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) is proud to announce its commitment to enhancing healthcare services in the region by funding three immunisation courses in collaboration with Benchmarque Group.
