Logan City Council's draft immunisation strategy got the tick of approval from the City Planning, Economic Development & Environment Committee

The council's City Planning, Economic Development & Environment Committee voted unanimously to approve a report on the Immunisation Strategy 2022-2025, which will now be tabled at a future Ordinary Council meeting for final approval.

The new strategy outlines plans to increase immunisations delivered through community vaccination centres in Jimboomba, Flagstone, Greenbank, Yarrabilba and other sites across Logan.

The council also hopes to further expand the ongoing school immunisation plan, which offers certain vaccines to students for free, alongside improving influenza vaccination rates.

The recently-announced program offering free influenza vaccines to Queensland residents until June 30 is not included in the strategy.

Following questions from Deputy Mayor, Division 11 Councillor Natalie Willcocks, a representative for the council's Health, Environment and Waste branch said it was unclear if the free vaccine program would be extended, but the council would continue offering the service until the end of June.

"We advocated to the State," they said.

"All the advertisements are still 'via the GP and pharmacies' but Council is actually providing that. We've updated our website to reflect that."

The draft version of the strategy was released for public consultation in March, and at the conclusion of the consulting period 41 residents had reviewed the online Have Your Say page relating to the strategy.

Of these, three had made submissions but only two of these were deemed relevant by the council and no amendments to the strategy were made.

The council has previously reported the original iteration of the strategy has a 96 per cent satisfaction rate, and overall immunisation rates in the City of Logan have increased by 20 per cent since it was introduced in 2018.
