DateHealth issueTreatmentImmunisationImmunisationpa ge 11 Immunisation What is immunisation and why does my child need it?Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way to protect children (and adults) from serious diseases. Immunisation involves giving vaccines to use the body s natural defence mechanism the immune response to build resistance to specific infections that can cause serious illness and even death.

4 What vaccinations should my child have and when?The National Immunisation Program recommends a number of vaccines for all children at certain times. These vaccines are listed on pages 14 15 and are available free for all Australian children at birth, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 months and again at 4 years of age. To provide earlier protection for your baby, vaccines due at 2 months can be given to babies from 6 weeks of age and the vaccines due at 4 years can be given to children from 3 years of age. Children born prematurely or who have long-term illnesses may need extra vaccines as they are at an increased risk of complications from these illnesses. If you are unsure, check with your doctor, nurse or health care worker. Don t delay!To offer the best protection, it is important for your child to be vaccinated at the recommended times rather than delaying or only giving some of the vaccines. If these vaccinations are not given at the right time your child may not be protected against harmful diseases.

5 If you miss a date, contact your immunisation provider straight away to discuss and organise your child s if my child is Aboriginal?Be sure to tell the doctor, nurse or health care worker if either parent identifies as Aboriginal as your child may need extra vaccinations at 12 and 18 months of age to give them added protection. page 12Is vaccination safe?Vaccines, like any other medicine can have side effects. Most reactions, such as soreness at the injection site or a slight fever, are mild and short lasting. Your immunisation provider will explain what reactions there might be after a vaccination and what to do if you are worried. Serious side effects are extremely rare but may include allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis). It is important for you to wait 15 minutes after vaccinations so your child can be observed for any reactions. Your immunisation provider is trained to recognise and manage any immediate, severe reactions. For more information about possible side effects: >call the SA health Immunisation Section on 1300 232 272 Monday to Friday am pm >call healthdirect Australia outside of business hours on 1800 022 222 >read the Immunisation myths and realities booklet >read information on the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) website Where do I go to get my child vaccinated?

6 Are the vaccines free?Check with your doctor, local council or community health service. The vaccines listed on pages 14 15 are free for all Australian children who are eligible to hold a Medicare card. Immunisations provided by local councils and community health services are free. Many doctors also provide childhood immunisations for free, but some may charge a fee for the my immunisation provider will ask me before my child can be vaccinatedBefore any immunisation takes place your doctor or nurse will ask you some questions: >if you understood the information given to you about immunisation >if you need more information before you decide whether to go ahead with vaccination >if you agree for your child to be any concerns you may have about the vaccines or diseases before your child is 13 Why do I need to keep a record of my child s vaccinations?It is important to keep a record of your child s vaccinations as you may need to provide proof of your child s vaccination history to enter childcare, kindergarten or school.

7 It may also be useful to your child when they are an adult. Take this book along each time your child is immunised so the vaccines given can be recorded. School-based immunisation program and other vaccinationsIn South Australia, vaccines on the National Immunisation Program for adolescents are delivered by local government or a health service through a school-based immunisation program. Records of school-based and other vaccines your child may receive, for example annual influenza and / or vaccines required for overseas travel, can be recorded on page more information >Call the SA health Immunisation Section, on 1300 232 272 Monday to Friday am pm. >Outside of these hours, healthdirect Australia is able to offer advice on 1800 022 222. >Visit and / or >The science behind immunisation >For travel immunisation advice visit records are important to keep for childcare, kindergarten, school, university, travel and 14 South Australian Childhood Immunisation Schedule July 2013 The National Immunisation Program is subject to change.
