We are passionate about protecting babies and children from preventable diseases with vaccinations. Immunisations are offered Mon-Fri, 9am to 4pm (9am to 3.30pm for the 6 week immunisation)

Please allow two hours for the 6 week immunisation and health check with a doctor. All children must wait 20 minutes after the vaccine has been given.
