No Jab No Play legislation was introduced in Victoria on 1 January 2016, with the aim of increasing immunisation rates and averting vaccine-preventable diseases for young children in the community. This review found that immunisation rates have improved for Victorian children aged 1, 2 and 5 years since the legislation was implemented.

Researchers from the Collaboration on Social Science and Immunisation (COSSI) have developed this six point strategy, aimed at supporting the design and implementation of a COVID-19 vaccine program in Australia.

The variation and dynamic nature of the vaccination trajectories described in this study suggests that vaccine refusal is not a static trait but rather the result of ever-changing experience and continual risk assessment; not all non-vaccinating parents fit the ‘alternative lifestyle’ stereotype

The aim of this paper is to summarise the results from a survey experiment on a probability-based, representative sample of the Australian population during mid-August 2020, that tested explicitly the relative weight that Australians put on different characteristics of individuals, in terms of who should receive a vaccine ahead of others.

Enforcing mandatory vaccination is a complicated proposition intersecting public health, rights to bodily autonomy and medical ethics. RMIT ABC Fact Check takes a look at whether mandatory vaccination could be enforced in Australia.
