Information on immunisations is available from reputable sources

When your child is immunised against a particular disease, it helps protect him from that disease, but also others in the community, by reducing the spread of preventable diseases. The Australian National Immunisation Program recommends and funds immunisation against 13 diseases for Australian children aged 0-4 years. The list below provides good websites where you may find valuable information.
