Immunisations & Vaccinations in Perth
Immunisations are the safest and most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones from serious diseases. By following the recommended vaccination schedule, we can protect not only individuals but also the wider community and even future generations.
Vaccines stop the spread of infectious and dangerous diseases. History proves their success: large-scale vaccination campaigns in the 1960s and 1970s virtually eliminatedn deadly illnesses like whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria, which once claimed thousands of lives every year.
Thanks to immunisation programs, fatalities from these diseases are extremely rare in developed countries.
Immunisations for Infants, Children, and Adolescents
Our experienced nurse works alongside our doctors to provide essential immunisations for patients from infancy through adolescence.
For teenagers, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly recommended to protect against certain cancers and infections. Some adolescents may also need booster shots for pertussis (whooping cough) and hepatitis B to maintain strong immunity.
Are side effects normal after vaccination?
Yes, mild side effects are common and usually short-lived. These may include:
- Redness, swelling, or soreness at the injection site
- Mild fever
- Temporary changes in behaviour, such as irritability
Vaccinations for Older Adults and High-Risk Patients
Our GPs recommend that all older patients stay up to date with age-appropriate vaccines to maintain strong protection against preventable illnesses. We also advise annual flu shots for older adults, pregnant women, and patients with weakened immune systems.
Keeping your vaccinations current is one of the best ways to safeguard your health.
Travel Vaccinations: Stay Protected Abroad
Many health risks associated with international travel can be prevented with the right vaccinations.
If you’re planning an overseas trip, we recommend booking an appointment with your doctor 6-12 weeks before departure. This allows enough time to discuss and receive any required or recommended travel vaccines for your destination.
Protect your health while travelling.
