Investment in adult vaccination will deliver a $1.1bn net return: New report launching at Parliament House

GSK Australia < 1 mins read

WHAT

GSK Australia will launch the report, Prevention: A productive superpower – The economic value of adult vaccination in Australia, at Parliament House on Tuesday 8 October 2024.   

 

According to the new report, increasing the investment in adult immunisation will deliver high returns:

    • A $320 million net annual investment will deliver a $1.1bn return.
    • Every $1 invested in adult vaccination generates more than $3.50 in economic benefits .

 

Economic growth has slowed, inflation is rising and cost-of-living increases are placing pressure on households. Our population is ageing: demand for care and support services is escalating. These powerful economic forces have the potential to entrench structural deficits, where government spending will outweigh revenue for the foreseeable future.

Australia is at a critical decision point. Governments are making decisions on the reforms and investments that can secure our economic sustainability.

 

The launch of the report will bring together key economic leaders to assess the economic value of vaccines – including boosting productivity while reducing a range of government and social costs across health, tax, aged care, disability and carer support.

Research backs RACGP calls for ‘living’ long COVID guidelines

New general practice research has backed the Royal Australian College of GPs’ (RACGP) calls for guidance on long COVID, and is boosting GPs’ knowledge around RSV prevention and scabies diagnosis and treatment in light of an ongoing scabies outbreak in NSW. The latest edition of the Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP) focuses on infectious disease, with articles examining immunisation for RSV, an examination of how GPs responded to COVID-19, the need for up-to-date guidance on long COVID, and a clinical challenge to boost skills in treating and managing scabies in light of growing infections. The RACGP has consistently called…
