Our purpose
The Central and Eastern Sydney PHN Immunisation Program aims to reduce the incidence of vaccine preventable diseases in the community by providing appropriate and timely information to immunisation providers and the community, and promote the delivery of the National Immunisation Program (NIP).

- Meet obligation for mandatory reporting of immunisation encounters to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR)
