What do you say to parents who aren’t sure vaccines are safe for their children? How do you reassure parents who have heard that vaccines injure children?

Sharing Knowledge about Immunisation (SKAI) can help. The SKAI website for parents contains information about every vaccine included on the NIP schedule for children, and the diseases they protect children from. It answers the questions parents ask, in an easily interpreted and accessible format.

Register now to hear about how SKAI was created from years of research with providers and parents and see a live demonstration of how you can use the SKAI websites during your conversations with parents and carers.

Be one of the first to have access to the new SKAI parent website. All registrants will be sent links to the live website for parents on the day of the seminar/webinar and will also be updated on future developments when the provider website and eLearning module tools become available.  

Presenters:

  • Dr Nina Berry, PhD DipArts(Phil) BA/BEd(Hons1) - Lecturer, The University of Sydney School of Public Health
  • Dr Penny Haora, RM, MPH, PhD, PGCL&T(HE), FHEA - Research Fellow, Social Science, NCIRS
