Childhood Vaccinations
Keeping your children’s vaccinations on schedule is essential for safeguarding them against serious diseases. Timely vaccinations not only protect your child but also help prevent the spread of illness to those who are more vulnerable. Many of these diseases are easily preventable with vaccines, so it’s important to stay up to date with their immunizations.
Our GPs and nurses are here to ensure your child’s vaccinations are managed according to the National Immunisation Program Schedule. These appointments also offer a great opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your child’s development. Vaccinations are typically given at 6 weeks, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 4 years. When booking, please inform reception that it’s for vaccinations so we can schedule adequate time with both the GP and our nurse to take care of your child.
