The Australian Academy of Science provides information that explains the science of immunisation in clear and easy-to-understand language, with the aim of supporting you to make good health decisions based on science.
The science of immunisation: questions and answers booklet, developed in partnership with the Australian Government Department of Health, answers common questions about immunisation. You can read the Q&As online, download the Q&As as a PDF, or order a printed copy. If you'd like to explore more, see our series of short videos and additional in-depth articles.

‘The science of immunisation: questions and answers’ is freely available below or as a printed booklet from the Academy. It was prepared by an expert working group of 12 members chaired by Professor Carola Vinuesa FAA FAHMS, and was reviewed by an expert panel.
