Questions
Are the national schedule vaccines free?
They are free at public clinics. At a private practice you pay for the vaccine and the visit, and most medical aids cover them from your benefits.
My child missed a dose. Is it too late?
Usually not. Most vaccines can be caught up. Bring the booklet and we will make a catch-up plan.
Is it normal to have a fever afterwards?
A mild fever and a sore leg or arm for a day or two are common. Call us if your child seems very unwell, or go to an emergency unit if you are worried and we are closed.
