摘要
A boriginal children and Torres Strait Islander children are more likely than non-Indigenous children to be hospitalised with influenza-associated complications, and are five times more likely than non-Indigenous children to die from influenza. 1,2 In 2015, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children between the ages of six months and up to five years were eligible for free influenza vaccination, for the first time under the National Immunisation Program Schedule.
