Vaccines delivered on time across Australia for largest national immunisation program on record



06 October 2009 @ 09:36 am AEST

CSL Biotherapies, a subsidiary of CSL - Australia's leading biopharmaceutical company, can today confirm that 100% of deliveries of its H1N1 influenza vaccine are being completed on time in all States.

As the H1N1 2009 pandemic vaccination program is the biggest of its kind ever to be rolled out in Australia, CSL committed to complete all initial orders for vaccine within 10 working days. As of September 30, 97.4% of all initial order deliveries were completed within 5 days, and 100% of deliveries completed nationally within 6 days.

As the only manufacturer of influenza vaccines in the Southern Hemisphere, CSL has been working for close to four decades with the Federal Government and State Health Departments to provide and distribute seasonal influenza vaccines for all Australians on an annual basis.

To date, CSL has delivered in excess of 2 million doses of vaccine across the country, and has more than 3 million doses across CSL's interstate warehouse network ready to ship to immunisation providers upon receipt of an order.
