Figure 5 is a line graph showing trends in ‘fully immunised’ vaccination coverage estimates at 12, 24 and 60 months of age for Indigenous children in Australia, 2002 to 2011.
The proportion of children ‘fully immunised’ by 24 months of age has consistently remained higher than at 12 months and 60 months of age. As for non-Indigenous children, coverage at 60 months of age for Indigenous children increased following the change in due/overdue rules. Coverage at the end of 2011 was higher at 60 months (88%) than at 12 months (85%) but lower than at 24 months (93%).
