Immunisation practice and policy development in Australia: responding to urgent priorities in prevention of endemic and epidemic infectious diseases in children.

尽管澳大利亚的免疫覆盖率很高，但仍有婴儿死于疫苗可预防的疾病，如百日咳、脑膜炎和流感。我在疫苗和免疫方面的研究包括试验新疫苗，如乙型脑膜炎球菌疫苗和甲型H1N1流感疫苗，以确保它们在儿童中的安全性和有效性，并研究提供疫苗的新方法，以提高社区对新疫苗的接受度，以确保更早和更好地保护婴儿和儿童免受严重传染病的影响。

Despite high immunisation coverage rates in Australia deaths still occur in young infants from vaccine preventable diseases such as whooping cough, meningitis and influenza. My research in vaccines and immunisation involves trialing new vaccines such as meningococcal B and H1N1 vaccine to ensure their safety and effectiveness in children and investigation of new ways to deliver vaccines to improve uptake of new vaccines in the community to ensure earlier and better protection for infants and children against severe infectious diseases.
