This is the first time that a national picture has been put together of vaccine coverage and vaccine preventable disease in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people ... This report aims to better inform Indigenous communities, Indigenous healthcare workers and planners of immunisation services of the current status and future needs for vaccine prevention in Indigenous people."--P. 1
