Updated vaccination and immunisation information

Updated FAQs for practitioners about vaccination and immunisation have been published on the Ahpra website.

This follows Ahpra and the National Boards recently consulting with key stakeholders about what information would be helpful for registered health practitioners about vaccination and immunisation, taking into account public health advice and the high rates of vaccination against COVID-19 in Australia.

The NMBA’s Position statement on nurses and midwives and vaccination will also be reviewed in line with current advice.

The updated information about vaccination and immunisation draws from the National Boards’ regulatory tools, including:

• codes of conduct
• social media guidance, and
• Guidelines for advertising a regulated health service.
