Information is provided in the <strong>Handbook</strong> for all vaccines that are available in<br />

Australia at or near the time of publication. <strong>The</strong>se include many vaccines that are<br />

funded under the National <strong>Immunisation</strong> Program (NIP). A copy of the current<br />

NIP schedule is provided with the hard copy of the <strong>Handbook</strong>. However, the<br />

NIP schedule may also be updated regularly; immunisation service providers<br />

should consult the Immunise Australia website (www.immunise.health.gov.<br />

au) for changes. A number of vaccines included in this <strong>Handbook</strong> are not part<br />

of the routine immunisation schedule; these vaccines may be given to, for<br />

example, persons travelling overseas, persons with a medical condition placing<br />

them at increased risk of contracting a vaccine-preventable disease, or those at<br />

occupational risk of disease.<br />
