Frequently Asked Questions
What vaccines are included in the childhood immunisation schedule?
The Australian National Immunisation Program includes vaccines to protect children against illnesses such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, hepatitis B and more. Vaccinations are provided at scheduled intervals from birth through adolescence. These schedules are designed to give protection when children are most at risk of certain illnesses. Your doctor will provide information about the recommended schedule, answer any questions, and help arrange any catch-up vaccinations if needed.
Do adults need vaccinations?
Yes, adults are recommended to have certain vaccinations to maintain their health and protect against preventable illnesses. Common adult vaccines include the annual influenza vaccination, tetanus boosters every 10 years, and whooping cough boosters, particularly for those in contact with young children. Other vaccinations may be recommended based on your lifestyle, work environment, travel plans or existing medical conditions. Your doctor will review your immunisation history and discuss which vaccines are suitable for you.
What is the difference between immunisation and vaccination?
Vaccination refers to the process of receiving a vaccine, usually as an injection, to help protect against specific illnesses. Immunisation describes the process where your body develops protection against these illnesses following vaccination. Vaccines work by helping your immune system recognise and fight off certain bacteria or viruses. Immunisation is an important public health measure that helps reduce the spread of preventable diseases within the community and protects vulnerable people from serious illness.
Can I have multiple vaccinations at the same time?
In many cases, it is safe to receive multiple vaccinations during a single appointment. Childhood vaccinations are often administered as combination vaccines to reduce the number of injections. For adults, your doctor may recommend scheduling some vaccines together, depending on your health and vaccination history. Your doctor will explain which vaccines are recommended for your circumstances and how they can be given safely. If you have any concerns, these can be discussed during your appointment.
