Supporting Your Child’s Health With Timely Immunisations
Immunisation is an important part of protecting children from serious, preventable diseases, and is recommended under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). At Shire Family Medical, our GPs and nurses offer a full schedule of childhood vaccinations, aligned with the National Immunisation Program.
Whether it’s your baby’s 6-week check-up and first immunisations, or routine booster doses for older children, we provide vaccinations in a supportive environment, taking time to explain each step and answer your questions.
What We Offer
- All scheduled vaccines from birth through adolescence
- 6-week baby check with immunisations
- Catch-up immunisation plans for children who are behind on their schedule
- Direct reporting to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR)
- Reminder systems to help you stay up to date
We also offer advice on school vaccinations, travel vaccines, and immunisation records for child care and school enrolment.
Our team provides evidence-based vaccination services to support children’s health in line with national recommendations.
