From a newborn's first dose to a teen's booster, here's what a visit covers.
Birth doses and the first-year series, given on time with each vaccine explained beforehand — so those early visits feel less daunting.
Toddler, school-age and pre-teen boosters at the right ages, including chickenpox and hepatitis A, with a quick health check on the day.
Running late or moving from another clinic? We review your child's records and plan the catch-up - usually without restarting the series.
Your child's vaccination card is updated at every visit, and you get straight answers about side effects, fever and what to do next.
It's natural to worry about shots, fever or timing — especially with a tiny baby. Ask us anything before a vaccine is given, and we'll explain what it protects against and what to expect afterwards.
Straightforward answers to the questions parents ask us most about vaccines.
The chart above lists them by age: doses at birth, 6, 10 and 14 weeks, and 6 and 9 months, with more around the first birthday. We’ll tell you what’s due at each visit.
Yes. Giving several vaccines at one visit is standard practice – the schedule is built for it – and it means earlier protection with fewer trips.
Don’t worry. Bring your child’s vaccination card and we’ll plan a catch-up from where you left off – in most cases there’s no need to restart the series.
Mild fever, a sore arm or leg and extra fussiness for a day or two are common. Call us if the fever is high, your baby cries inconsolably, or something simply doesn’t seem right.
The government’s Universal Immunisation Programme provides core vaccines free at public facilities. Pediatricians also recommend extra vaccines – like chickenpox, hepatitis A and the yearly flu shot – that aren’t part of the free programme everywhere. We’ll explain which is which.
Booking ahead is best, so the right vaccines are ready for your child. We see children Monday to Saturday, 7–10 PM, and Sunday, 7:30–10 PM.
