Read the latest insights from the Public Health Communication Centre in our March edition, including recent Briefings, along with public health news and upcoming events.

As colder months approach, the most-read Briefing highlights an overlooked benefit of influenza vaccination: a substantial reduction in the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Evidence indicates vaccination can reduce major cardiovascular events by around one third, in addition to preventing infection.

Briefings this month also covered the final report of the Covid-19 inquiry, how to get the most out of the Moa Point sewage plant inquiry, reducing dog attacks, the failures of restricting vape flavours and countering the respiratory health risks of wildfires.
