The Chain of Protection

A new website, www.chainofprotection.org, which provides accurate information and guidance on immunisation issues for both doctors and the public, was launched on Friday 13 August. The site was developed by Professor Robert Booy of the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance in Sydney. The Chain of Protection website is a great resource, with lots of information to help you educate community members and practice staff on the benefits of immunisation and herd immunity.
