The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of skin infection associated hospitalizations in children born in Western Australia (WA).
Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 was a crucial public health measure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the multiple strategies developed to increase vaccine uptake, governments often employed vaccine mandates.
