As part of the PPIP, WSLHD plans to develop a District-wide immunisation strategy. Establishing a governance structure for immunisation across the district, will support integration of prevention through opportunistic immunisation at every point of patient contact with hospital-based and outpatient clinical services. The PPIP will also liaise with district community health services to support their immunisation goals and activities for improving immunisation coverage in priority or under-vaccinated population groups.
