Asthma is the most common chronic condition in Australian children, resulting in >20,000 hospitalisations and costing the health system ~$200 million annually. Despite influenza being the most common infectious cause of asthma flare-ups, influenza vaccine uptake in asthmatic children remains low. This research will determine if a school-based vaccine delivery service can improve influenza vaccine uptake in children with asthma and reduce the burden on families and the Australian health system.

哮喘是澳大利亚儿童中最常见的慢性疾病，每年导致20,000人住院治疗，花费卫生系统约2亿美元。尽管流感是哮喘发作最常见的感染原因，但哮喘儿童的流感疫苗接种率仍然很低。这项研究将确定以学校为基础的疫苗提供服务是否可以提高哮喘儿童的流感疫苗吸收率，并减轻家庭和澳大利亚卫生系统的负担。
