The Vaccine Coverage

‘The Vaccine Coverage’ features conversations with special guests on a range of topics relating to vaccination in Australia.

The series is made for anyone who wants to learn more about vaccination: parents, people receiving vaccines and vaccine providers too!

This podcast was made possible through the 2023 GSK Immunisation Award, presented to the Melbourne Vaccine Education Centre (MVEC) at the Public Health Association of Australia’s (PHAA) Communicable Diseases and Immunisation Conference in 2023. MVEC has complete control over the content presented, and is independent of GSK and PHAA.
