Childhood Immunisations

Vaccines are the most effective way to protect you and your child from many serious and potentially deadly diseases. They also protect other people in your community – by helping to stop diseases spreading to people who cannot have vaccines. Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing before being introduced – they’re also constantly monitored for side effects after being introduced. It is important to stick to the immunisation schedule, as a delay can leave your child unprotected and vulnerable to infection.
