Abstract
It is almost 50 years since infant vaccination for diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus became routine in Australia. Since then, the incidence of vaccine‐preventable diseases has declined dramatically. We have used existing records and the recollections of experts to compile a history of vaccination in Australia, focusing on vaccines in the current childhood schedule.Keywords
