Immunisations & Vaccinations Rockhampton

Immunisation plays a vital role in protecting people of all ages, from children through to older adults, against serious infections within the community.

Vaccination works by stimulating the body’s natural defence system—the immune response—to build protection against specific diseases. This helps prevent the spread of infections and keeps individuals and the wider community healthy. At our practice, vaccinations are conveniently provided by our qualified nurses and GPs.

Childhood Immunisations

Immunisation is a safe, simple, and highly effective way to protect children from a range of preventable diseases. The risks associated with these illnesses are far greater than the minimal risks linked to vaccination.

Following the recommended immunisation schedule is essential for long-term protection. Vaccines for infants and young children are funded under the National Immunisation Program. After your child’s immunisation, we will notify the Australian Immunisation Register on your behalf.

Adult Vaccinations

Staying up to date with vaccinations is just as important in adulthood. Some vaccines given during childhood require booster doses to maintain protection later in life. In some cases, individuals may have missed important vaccinations earlier and remain vulnerable to certain diseases.

Your doctor can review your immunisation history and provide personalised advice on any vaccines you may need, using the National Immunisation Program Schedule as a guide.
