At The Local Doctor, we offer a comprehensive vaccination service including….
Routine Childhood vaccines
Routine childhood vaccines commence at 6 weeks of age. For the 6 week immunisation consultation, an appointment should also be booked with your treating doctor who will perform a thorough new born check. It is recommended for the mother to book a post-partum checkup with your doctor as well.Subsequent routine vaccines are booked with the practice nurse and are bulk-billed for patients with a Medicare card.
The government funds routine childhood immunisations with the exception of Bexero which covers Meningococcal B.
