Vax awareness low
February 10, 2016
RESEARCH commissioned by
Seqirus (a CSL company) among
Australian parents reveals
that despite a comprehensive
immunisation program, the

(55.8%) are not aware that

The online survey, conducted
by PureProfile in Dec 2015 to Jan
2016, involved 308 Australian men

(chickenpox), diphtheria, tetanus,
pertussis (whooping cough) and
the human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccines are on offer.
