Abstract
General practitioners provide 50% of childhood vaccination services in Australia. The routine schedule has been relatively stable for over 20 years, but new vaccine developments and an improved understanding of the epidemiology of the vaccine-preventable diseases will soon result in several major changes. General practitioners should review vaccination documentation and storage of vaccines, to ensure that the service they provide is of the highest standard. National targets for "age-appropriate" vaccination could be the basis for individual practices to assess their own performance.
