Childhood vaccinations: a parent's guide

Childhood vaccinations: a parent's guide

Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect children from serious illness. Here's how we make vaccine visits smoother.

Following the schedule

We follow the recommended national schedule and send reminders before each visit is due.

Before the appointment

Bring your child's vaccine record and a favourite toy. Be honest that there may be a quick pinch.

Comfort helps: a cuddle, a distraction and lots of praise afterwards.

Afterwards

Mild soreness or a low fever can happen. We'll explain what's normal and when to call us.

Questions about your child's vaccines? Book a visit and we'll talk them through with you.
