Immunisation

Children need immunisations against many diseases. This protects them while their immune systems are still developing, and prevents them from getting serious diseases. Vaccination schedules need to be updated on our systems. Please ensure you provide us with a copy of your updated Immunisation History

To confirm your child’s specific needs, speak to your doctor or vaccination provider. 

The information provided below is a general guide to immunisations for children.
