‘Don’t Assume You’re Immune’ is a new immunisation campaign launched by the Western Australian Government. The 12-month campaign encourages people to get the facts about vaccine-preventable diseases. In addition, WA Health is funding local projects aimed at increasing immunisation rates and is currently seeking proposals from government and not for profit immunisation stakeholders.
The WA Immunisation Strategy 2024-28 is anticipated to be published in 2024.
