Dear Dr
Re: Evaluation of the National Indigenous Pneumococcal and Influenza
Immunisation (NIPII) Program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Adults.
Enclosed is the immunisation survey on the NIPII Program I recently wrote to you
about. It would be very helpful to us if you would assist us by filling out your answers
to the questions.
The survey is
in 2 sections. The first section is for all General Practices and the second
section is only for those General Practices where Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
patients are known to have attended the practice this year.
Your responses are very important in planning for this program and future programs
targeting Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. This applies whether or not you
routinely immunise Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander people.
Participation in the survey is of course voluntary, but your timely response is much
appreciated. Each section should take should take no more than 5-10 minutes to
complete. The information you provide will be confidential. If you have any questions
or concerns about the conduct of the study, Dr Tom Norris (02) 9845 1319 or Rob
Menzies (02 9845 3065 would be pleased to discuss these with you.
Please complete the survey and return it in the reply-paid, pre-addressed envelope
provided or by fax using the coversheet provided. .
Thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely
