Vital vaccines for Australian adults

Australia’s child vaccination coverage is world-leading. Our adult coverage is not. Vaccination against respiratory infection is vital to protect the lung health of Australians living with, and without, lung disease. In 2024, we surveyed over 3,300 Australians to better understand barriers to adult vaccination, information needs, and support for potential policy measures. This report summarises vaccination information, survey findings, and our recommendations for improving adult vaccination coverage to reduce the impact of respiratory disease.
