Why Childhood Immunisation Matters
Childhood immunization forms part of the preventative healthcare program. Childhood vaccinations train the immune system of the child against certain infections before exposure to the diseases.
The National Immunization Program offers childhood vaccinations that are recommended to be administered to babies, children and others in Australia. Childhood immunizations offer protection against such illnesses as measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis.
Ensuring that your child is up to date with his or her vaccinations will go a long way in helping the health of your child and even the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases within the community.
Our healthcare team at Appin Medical Centre offers vaccinations and immunizations to children in a caring setting. If you need to know more regarding childhood immunizations and vaccination of your child, please talk to your GP.
