Immunisation and Vaccinations for Your Child

Immunisation and vaccinations are very important for protecting children from serious and preventable diseases. By following the recommended childhood Immunisation schedule, your child can develop strong immunity against diseases such as measles, whooping cough, polio, and hepatitis. These vaccines are rigorously tested and approved, making them a safe and effective means of preventive healthcare.

In addition to vaccinations, it is also important to support your child’s health. Some children may develop iron deficiency, which can affect growth, energy, and the immune system. In some instances, a doctor may prescribe iron infusion if oral supplements are not feasible or effective. By addressing nutritional issues, such as iron infusion, you can ensure that your child’s body is receptive to vaccinations and common infections.

At Kearns Medical Centre, our GPs offer comprehensive child health checks, vaccinations, and treatments such as iron infusion to ensure your child gets all the care they need.

A healthy immune system can be developed not only through vaccinations but also through proper nutrition and medical care. Some children may have iron deficiency, which can influence their energy, growth, and immune system. In some instances, doctors may prescribe iron infusion therapy if iron supplements are not suitable or effective.

In our clinic, we evaluate your child’s overall health, including their nutrition and blood health. If necessary, iron infusion therapy can be included in the overall care of your child to promote healthy development in conjunction with proper vaccinations.
