Demand for seasonal Influenza vaccination
continues to rise in Australia.
Every year, more and more Australians are choosing to be vaccinated against influenza. Increased demand for influenza vaccination has certainly been seen in 2020, with more than 7.3 million vaccinations having been administered by the last week of April, compared with only 4.5 million administered at the same point in 2019.1
As the importance of influenza vaccination continues to be communicated to the public by the government and by individual medical practitioners, this upward trend is likely to continue. While these figures potentially represent great news for patient health outcomes, many GP practices find themselves running out of vaccine stock and unable to meet the needs of their patients.
In a recent survey, 55% of Australian GPs said they hadn’t received sufficient supplies of influenza vaccine to cover the needs of their patients.*1 One in two GPs and three in five GP practice nurses say that shortages of influenza vaccine are the norm for their practice, experiencing shortages frequently, or every season.†2
