The Annual Immunisation Coverage Report 2018 is the 12th in the series, and shows data for the calendar year 2018 derived from the Australian Immunisation Register for all children aged <5 years. The report focusses on changes in vaccination coverage at key milestone ages of 12, 24 and 60 months between 2017 and 2018, but also documents longer term trends. ‘Fully vaccinated’ coverage increased at the 12- and 60-month milestones to 93.9% and 94.0%, respectively, but, in the context of additional antigens required, decreased to 90.1% at 24 months. The data analysed show there are continuing improvements in immunisation coverage and suggest potential new coverage targets for earlier protection in the first 2 years of life.
