Maintaining a high level of immunisation within our community is very important to controlling many communicable diseases.
It is important for parents to make sure that their children have received all of the childhood vaccinations. This includes Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (whooping cough), and polio vaccines before school entry or from three and a half years of age. If you are unsure, phone 1800 653 809. If you child has missed out on vaccinations, a doctor or immunisation nurse can provide ‘catch-up’ vaccinations.
Make an appointment with a GP or visit the local FREE immunisation clinic run by the Health Department. Please phone 6151 1308 for bookings. Please download this form for more infomation.
