Updated @ASIDANZ @anzpid Statement on Primary School aged (5-to 11-year-olds) children and #COVID19 #vaccine. Read statement: https://t.co/clY9mmmPH5

The @vaccine rollout for @children aged five to 11 is expected to start on January 10, 2022. MCRI vaccine experts Associate Professor @DanchinMargie and Professor @Fiona_M_Russell explain why the benefits of #vaccinating children outweigh the risks in 👇🏽 article | @TheAge

3/ Vaccine roll out is anticipated in early January.

2/ Millions of children have had 2 doses in US already & surveillance has found the vaccine to be safe. This vaccine will help protect children from infection & rare complications of COVID-19, will help prevent school outbreaks, & contribute to a ⬇️ in community transmission. 3/

@vacsig supports the decision by @TGAgovau to provisionally approve Pfizer for 5-11y children, subject to ATAGI advice. The vaccine was well tolerated, produced good immune responses & was highly efficacious against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a clinical trial @ASIDANZ @ASIDcrn 1/

The Omicron variant reflects the threat of prolonged vaccine injustice. The longer we take to deliver #VaccinEquity, the more we allow the #COVID19 virus to circulate, mutate and become potentially more dangerous. https://t.co/tfN5SlBiA5

With #Victorian children soon to benefit from the COVID-19 #vaccine, MCRI Professor @Fiona_M_Russell and @telethonkids Associate Professor @AshaBowen say #school #mandates should not be part of the package. Read the full @theheraldsun op-ed in image below.

We worked with @JeanHailes to create a new resource regarding #COVID19 #vaccine information for #women 👇

@vacsig @asid supports the Viewpoint of the benefit of vaccinating 5-11y children, pending ATAGI approval. But no need to restrict social & sporting activities for children & teenagers based on vaccination status.

Be #COVIDsmart. Make sure you get vaccine safety information from a trusted source. Read more: https://t.co/fCXdjeIjP3

If your Year 7 child missed getting their HPV and diphtheria-tetanus-whooping vaccines this year at school, they can still catch up at their GP or through the immunisation nurse at the council

Congrats to A/Prof Nigel Crawford who has been welcomed as a new member of the Science and Industry Technical Advisory Group (SITAG)👏 Read the full statement here @ausgov 👇 https://t.co/lRXt0etNsr

@vacsig supports the views outlined in this Op-Ed & does not support #COVID19 vaccine mandates for children <16y. @ASIDANZ @ASIDcrn @_PHAA_ @TheRACP @RACGPPresident @amapresident @abcnews @newscorpaus

Important work that emphasises the critical role of social and behavioural science and health communication in vaccine uptake.

@healthgovau @TGAgovau @MVECau Clinical Vaccinology Update 2021 is now on, with the latest #COVID19 data and advice from #immunisation industry experts from @RCHMelbourne @MCRI_for_kids @MonashHealth @western_health 💉 Resource 👇 @Fiona_M_Russell

Influenza targets the most vulnerable. Children with comorbid conditions make up 40% of flu admissions in Australia. These kids stay in hospital longer and are more likely to go to ICU and die. https://t.co/izcYYqkhfb

One of the most common questions about COVID-19 vaccines is how the mRNA vaccines interact with our DNA. The answer is, they don't. Watch this awesome video from @vaccinemakers at @ChildrensPhila 📽️ https://t.co/NcSheBxp7O Thanks @DanchinMargie for sharing!
