Understanding your blood pressure numbers
What the top and bottom numbers mean, and when to talk to your doctor.
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.
