The glossary will be translated into 31 languages.
A COVID-19 vaccination glossary will be distributed across Australia in 31 languages after being developed by UNSW Associate Professor Holly Seale in partnership with NSW Health.
The COVID-19 Glossary of Immunisation and Vaccine Development, launched by NSW Health, aims to provide plain language meanings to complex immunisation and vaccine development and terms.
A/Prof. Holly Seale from the School of Population Health at UNSW Sydney led the development of the glossary which will assist community leaders and organisations.
“It is important that accurate information about the individual COVID-19 vaccines and the vaccination program is communicated to support the community’s understanding and confidence in the COVID-19 vaccination program,” A/Prof. Seale said.
