Vaccination is recommended in the National Immunisation Schedule and associated programs offered by the Australian and Victorian Governments. This schedule and available programs are regularly updated and change as vaccines are improved.

There is a small risk of a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to any vaccine. Anyone that has been vaccinated will stay in the treatment area for at least 15 minutes after immunisation in case additional support is needed.
