To describe the process for assembling a linked study that will enable the conduct of population-based studies related to immunisation and immunisation policy.
We outline three scenarios from across the health spectrum where issues with health informatics are exemplified.
Amongst pregnant Australian women we aimed to ascertain vaccine information received, maternal immunisation uptake and attitudes and concerns regarding vaccines
We propose more precision in the term 'vaccine hesitancy' is needed particularly since much under-vaccination arises from factors related to access
Nurses consider antimicrobial stewardship activities within their roles, but are underutilised in antimicrobial stewardship programs
