Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources: ‘Get the facts about immunisation’
Phase 3 of the Childhood Immunisation Education Campaign – ‘Get the facts about immunisation’ (the Campaign) launched in January to encourage Australian parents and carers to get their kids vaccinated.
A focus of this extension of the Campaign is to promote vaccination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, by sharing the benefits of childhood vaccination and encouraging timely completion of the childhood immunisation schedule.
When a child is immunised, it helps to protect them as well as the whole community from serious disease. It’s important that children receive their vaccines on time, every time, for the best protection. If a child is late they should catch up as soon as possible.
A range of communication resources have been developed and are hosted on the Campaign website resource page.
- Get the facts video – Protect your mob – ‘Get the facts – It’s really important to vaccinate on time’
- Get the facts motion graphic – Protect your mob – ‘Get the facts – getting your bub vaccinated is free and helps keep them, and everyone safe from diseases.’
- Get the facts brochure – Protect your mob – ‘immunisation saves lives’
- Get the facts poster – Protect your mob – ‘immunisation protects all our kids’
