Associate Professor Paul Griffin 

MBBS, B.Sc. (Hons)

Immunisation Coalition Board Director

Paul has become a welcome familiar face over the pandemic, with regular insightful media interviews in which his humour and brilliance shine.  He is widely respected – both within the industry and throughout the wider community and was the recipient of the 2020 Media Hero of the Year. 


Here’s some of what Paul has been saying lately:

“We know with two doses people can still get infected, but they are much less likely – almost more than 90 per cent less likely – to die from the virus.  Zero COVID and elimination is seeming less realistic, and we need to focus on how to live with it to minimise consequences…We need as many vaccinated people as possible, the vaccines work incredibly well.” 2nd August 2021 News.com.au
