There is a lot of information and discussion surrounding immunisation, but all the data shows us that immunisation saves lives.

The National Immunisation Program (NIP) schedule is a series of immunisations given at specific times in life ranging from birth to adulthood. All immunisation vaccines used in the NIP are free and eligibility is linked to Medicare benefits eligibility.

Some of the diseases covered by the NIP schedule include Hepatitis A and B, Diptheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Chickenpox, Pneumococcal, Meningococcal and Influenza.

• Immunisations use your body’s immune systems to provide protection to you and your children and have been proven to be the best way to protect you, your children, and future generations from infectious disease.
• At Infinity Health Medical Centre we value informed patient decisions, and our priority is to ensure we educate and inform parents and patients of the benefits and risks associated with immunisations and the decision not to immunise.
