Immunise Australia program: measles control campaign.

As part of the Campaign, parents of children aged 1-4 years who have missed their first dose of MMR have been sent a letter from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) reminding them that their child’s immunisation is overdue. In addition, secondary school principals will remind parents of teenage children (12-18 years old) about the need to ensure that their child has received two doses of MMR vaccine and encourage them to update their child’s immunisation with their local general practitioner or health care provider.
