Instagram and GoFundMe block anti-vaccine campaigns
In a bid to stop the spread of misleading information surrounding immunisation, the online crowdfunding platform, GoFundMe, has recently announced that campaigns aiming to raise money to promote the anti-vaccine movement will be removed from their service.
Similarly, the social media platform Instagram, has also announced that it will be blocking any anti-vaccine hashtags to combat the spread of misinformation across the internet.

Influenza and pertussis vaccination in pregnancy
Antenatal immunisation with Influenza and pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines are strongly recommended in every pregnancy to protect both the mother and baby from disease and its complications. Evidence around the timing of pertussis immunisation in pregnancy has recently been reviewed and it is now recommended that a pertussis containing vaccine be administered between 20 and 32 weeks of the pregnancy. Immunisation is provided free to all pregnant women through the National Immunisation Program.
