Child Immunizations
Vaccines are free and immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting babies and children against certain diseases. The risks from having these diseases are far greater than the risk of any minor side effects from immunisation.
It is important, that the childhood vaccines are given at the recommended time to provide children with maximum protection from vaccine preventable diseases.
