This summary report on vaccine preventable diseases in Australia is the latest in a series of multi-year surveillance reports that bring together the three most important national sources of routinely-collected data on VPDs (notifications, hospitalisations and deaths) and serve as a resource to support surveillance and control of VPDs in Australia. This report focuses on the four-year period 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2022 with longer term trends also presented. Two VPDs are included for the first time: coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection.
