FAQ

  • What vaccinations does my child need and when?

    Childhood immunisation schedules in Australia follow the National Immunisation Program, which outlines recommended vaccines at specific ages from birth through to adolescence. Our doctors can confirm which vaccinations are due, catch up on any that have been missed and answer any questions you have about the schedule for your child.

  • Do I need a flu or COVID-19 vaccine every year?

    Flu vaccines are generally recommended annually, as the vaccine formulation is updated each year to match circulating strains. COVID-19 vaccine recommendations vary depending on your age, health status and how long it's been since your last dose. Our doctors can advise on what's currently recommended for your circumstances.

  • What vaccinations should I get before travelling overseas?

    Recommended travel vaccinations depend on your destination, planned activities and personal health history. It's a good idea to book a travel health consultation several weeks before you depart, giving enough time for any required vaccinations to take effect before you travel.

  • Are booster shots necessary for adults?

    Some vaccines, such as tetanus and whooping cough, require periodic booster doses throughout adulthood to maintain protection. Your doctor can review your immunisation history and let you know if any boosters are currently due based on your age and previous vaccinations.

  • How can I access my immunisation records?

    Your immunisation history is recorded and can be accessed through your doctor or via your Medicare online account, which links to the Australian Immunisation Register. If you're unsure what vaccinations you've already had, our team can help you check your records during your next visit.
