Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are childhood immunisations free?

    Childhood immunisations are free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). Vaccines are provided at no cost to children from birth to adolescence as part of the government-funded program. These immunisations are available through general practitioners, community health clinics and some schools to protect children from various preventable diseases.

  • At what age should my child start receiving vaccinations?

    Children should start receiving vaccinations at birth, beginning with the Hepatitis B vaccine. From there, a series of vaccines are administered at various intervals, such as two, four and six months, with additional doses and boosters given throughout early childhood to protect against diseases like measles, polio and whooping cough.

  • Can vaccines cause side effects?

    Vaccines can cause side effects, but they are typically mild and temporary. Common side effects include redness, swelling at the injection site, mild fever and fatigue. Serious side effects are extremely rare. Vaccines are thoroughly tested for safety. Always consult your doctor if you have concerns about vaccine side effects.

  • How do vaccines help prevent the spread of diseases?

    Vaccines help prevent the spread of diseases by stimulating the immune system to recognise and fight specific pathogens. When enough people are vaccinated, it creates 'herd immunity', reducing the overall spread of infections. This protects both vaccinated individuals and those who cannot receive vaccines due to medical conditions, thereby helping control outbreaks.
