People are being urged to ensure they've had their vaccination with the 'flu season expected to hit in Western Australia within weeks.
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
To assess potential benefits and direct healthcare cost savings with expansion of an existing childhood influenza immunisation program, we developed a dynamic transmission model for the state of Western Australia, evaluating increasing coverage in children < 5 years and routinely immunising school-aged children.
In remote communities of northern Australia, First Nations children with hearing loss are disproportionately at risk of poor school readiness and performance compared to their peers with no hearing loss. The aim of this trial is to prevent early childhood persisting otitis media (OM), associated hearing loss and developmental delay.
The ability for vaccines to protect against infectious diseases varies among individuals, but computational models employed to inform policy typically do not account for this variation. Here we examine this issue: we implement a model of vaccine efficacy developed in the context of SARS-CoV-2 in order to evaluate the general implications of modelling correlates of protection on the individual level.
