Townsville Hospital and Health Service
Immunisation
In Queensland, immunisation services may be delivered by general practitioners, Hospital and Health Services, local councils and other providers such as community controlled health organisations and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
The Queensland Health Immunisation Strategy 2017-2022 establishes a childhood immunisation target of 95 per cent, which is needed to prevent the transmission of highly contagious diseases, such as measles, in our communities.
To monitor progress toward meeting this goal, immunisation rates by Hospital and Health Service will be published on this website on a quarterly basis. Sharing this data is intended to inform the community about immunisation rates in their local area.
