From 1 July 2020, there are a number of changes to the National Immunisation Program coming into effect to improve protection against meningococcal and pneumococcal disease:
- Introduction of meningococcal B vaccination and changes to meningococcal ACWY vaccination
- Hepatitis A vaccination schedule points for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in NT, Qld, SA and WA will change in consideration of th introduction of the meningococcal B vaccine.
- Pneumococcal vaccination schedule will change to reflect the current best clinical evidence in preventing pneumococcal disease in adults and in people with conditions that increase their risk of disease.
