Sharing Knowledge About Immunisation (SKAI)

Sharing Knowledge About Immunisation (SKAI) supports families and healthcare professionals to have better conversations about immunisation.

What is SKAI?

SKAI — Sharing Knowledge About Immunisation — is a suite of vaccination communication support tools. SKAI is designed to facilitate conversations about immunisation between families and healthcare professionals. The package currently includes eLearning and a website with communication tools and resources for healthcare professionals, and a website with user-friendly vaccination information for parents. The SKAI package is currently being expanded to provide support for conversations between healthcare professionals and other groups about a wider range of vaccines.
How did SKAI come about?

SKAI was designed and evaluated by an interdisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians, working with parents, health communicators, educators and website designers.
What is SKAI for?

SKAI was developed to give healthcare professionals the confidence to invite parents to share their questions and concerns during vaccination consultations.
Who is responsible for SKAI content?

A team at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) conducts regular updates of the SKAI package. An advisory group also provides guidance on the scientific direction and governance of SKAI.
