Australia's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Michael Kidd AO, together with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), has issued a joint statement reaffirming the safety and effectiveness of vaccines used in Australia.
Vaccines remain one of the most effective ways to protect individuals and communities from serious illness. The statement confirms that all vaccines approved for use in Australia meet strict safety, quality and efficacy standards set by the TGA.
We encourage all Australians to stay up to date with their vaccinations and to seek advice from their healthcare provider if they have questions about vaccine safety.
