Immunisation Schedule
Timing is important
The National Immunisation Program Schedule Queensland outlines when your child’s vaccinations should take place.
Be-on-time
On-time vaccination offers the best protection for your child
It is important that your baby is fully immunised as early in life as possible to be protected from serious and life threatening diseases.
Pregnancy
Vaccinations during pregnancy are vital
Vaccinations during pregnancy are the most effective way to protect mum and baby, as mother develops immunity and also passes protective antibodies on to the baby.
Children and flu
Free flu vaccines for children aged 6 months to less than 5 years of age
Flu can hit children hard and in Australia is the leading cause of hospitalisation for children under 5. Annual vaccination provides the best protection.
