The Mid North Coast Division of General Practice Immunisation Project aims to improve and promote the quality and levels of vaccination services provided by general practice, with the overall goal of improving immunisation rates across the Division.  The National Health and Medical Research Council have identified general practice as a major vehicle for the achievement of childhood vaccination rates greater than 90%. Immunisation incentives available through the GPII program encourage GPs to follow up vaccinations and to vaccinate opportunistically on every possible occasion.
