New NCIRS resource on recommended sites for childhood vaccination now available

A new poster developed by NCIRS is now available to support immunisation providers in administering vaccines to infants and children.

The Recommended sites for childhood vaccination resource illustrates the recommended sites and routes of administration for vaccines recommended and funded under the National Immunisation Program as well as vaccines funded by certain state and territories.

The A3 poster also includes a checklist for preparing for vaccination, needle size recommendations and additional clinical advice.

The poster – which is available to download in colour or black-and-white – can be accessed here.
