The Annual Immunisation Coverage Report 2020 is the 14th in the series, and the first to present adolescent and adult vaccination data from the Australian Immunisation Register, in addition to childhood vaccination data. The report shows 'fully vaccinated' coverage increased at all three age milestones in all children and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children between 2019 and 2020. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in adolescents by 15 years of age continued to increase, as did recorded influenza vaccination coverage in adults. However, recorded zoster vaccination coverage among older adults remained low. The report also shows persisting issues with timeliness of childhood vaccination, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and socioeconomically disadvantaged children, and those living in remote areas.
