Associate Professor Aditi Dey holds a conjoint appointment at the Sydney Medical School within the University of Sydney, and serves as Manager of Surveillance at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS). Her work focuses on immunization program evaluation, vaccine coverage analysis, and surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases and adverse events. She has extensive experience in public health research, spanning roles in Thailand and India prior to her current positions in Australia.
Dr Dey completed an MBBS, followed by postgraduate qualifications including a DTM&H (Tropical Medicine & Hygiene), Grad Dip Applied Science (Health Information Management), MPH, and a PhD from the University of Sydney. Her research integrates epidemiological analysis with public health policy implementation, particularly addressing health disparities in vaccination access and outcomes among Indigenous populations and other underserved groups.
Her research interests prominently feature vaccine safety, epidemiological trends of infectious diseases, and the impact of vaccination policies such as Australia’s “No Jab, No Pay” initiative. She also investigates the effectiveness of vaccination programs for diseases like rotavirus, HPV, and varicella-zoster virus, often analyzing large-scale national health datasets.
Notable contributions include evaluations of Australia’s HPV vaccination program, analysis of rotavirus vaccine efficacy, and assessments of adverse events following immunization. Her work emphasizes improving immunization coverage through better data systems and healthcare provider education, particularly for at-risk populations.
Dr Dey actively contributes to public health efforts through teaching and course coordination at the University of Sydney, and collaborates with institutions like the Sydney Infectious Diseases Institute. Her expertise bridges clinical practice, research, and policy, driving evidence-based improvements in Australia’s immunization landscape.
