Children’s Immunisations and Vaccinations

Protecting your child against serious illnesses starts with timely immunisations. We follow the Australian National Immunisation Program (NIP) Schedule, ensuring your child receives all recommended vaccines at the appropriate ages. We also provide Queensland-specific immunisations, including catch-up vaccines, meningococcal vaccinations, and travel-related immunisations for families planning international trips.

If you’re wondering, “Where to get children’s vaccinations in Buderim?”, our Buderim GP clinic offers a safe and welcoming environment for your child’s immunisations. Our highly skilled practice nurses ensure a calm and supportive experience for all baby and kids’ vaccinations in Buderim. We are happy to answer any questions about vaccination schedules, vaccine safety, and side effects.

If your child misses a vaccine, it’s important to book a catch-up appointment as soon as possible. The Australian National Immunisation Program (NIP) includes catch-up schedules to help children stay protected against preventable diseases.

Yes. Children with medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or compromised immune systems may require additional vaccinations. Your GP can recommend a tailored immunisation plan based on your child’s health needs.

To prepare your child, speak calmly about what to expect, bring a comforting item (like a toy or blanket), and plan a relaxing activity afterwards. Our clinic staff are experienced in supporting children through immunisations in a gentle, reassuring manner.

Mild side effects may include redness or swelling at the injection site, a low-grade fever, or irritability. These typically resolve within 1–2 days. If symptoms persist or you’re concerned, contact your doctor for advice.
