A statement from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee about school immunisation programs and dental services.
AHPPC noted that there are significant challenges to the delivery of school based immunisation programs, with school attendance falling and some potential school closures.
AHPPC recommends that school based immunisation programs, with the exception of the delivery of the meningococcal ACWY vaccine, are paused at the current time.
Due to school closures in some states/territories, school-based immunisation against meningococcal disease will need a state/territory approach.
