Why are immunisations important?
Immunisations protect individuals from serious infectious diseases and help prevent outbreaks within the community. Vaccines strengthen the immune system to fight infections safely.
Are vaccines safe?
Yes. Vaccines used in Australia are thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness before approval. Mild side effects such as soreness or low-grade fever are common and usually temporary.
What happens if my child misses a scheduled vaccine?
If a vaccine is missed, your GP can create a catch-up immunisation schedule to ensure your child remains protected without needing to restart the entire course.
Do adults need vaccinations?
Yes. Adults require booster doses for certain vaccines and may need additional protection depending on age, travel plans, workplace requirements, or medical conditions.
How often should I get the flu vaccine?
The influenza vaccine is recommended annually, as flu strains change each year and immunity decreases over time.
Can I receive multiple vaccines in one visit?
In many cases, yes. It is safe to receive multiple vaccines during one appointment, and your GP will advise based on your individual health status.
Are immunisations free?
Many vaccines are provided free under the National Immunisation Program for eligible age groups. Your GP can advise which vaccines are covered.
