What Is Immunisation and Why Does It Matter?
Immunisation refers to the process by which an individual becomes protected against disease through the administration of a vaccine. Unlike the act of vaccination itself—which is the physical injection or dose—immunisation represents the broader journey to immunity.
​
At our immunisation clinic, patients can receive timely advice on vaccine requirements, post-vaccination care, and ongoing protection across a wide range of conditions.
Why Timely Immunisations Matter
For Children and Infants
-
Early Protection: Childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough can lead to serious complications. Starting early with newborn immunisation is key to long-term health.
-
School and Daycare Compliance: Many educational facilities require proof of immunisation to enrol.
-
Family and Community Safety: When your child is immunised, it contributes to a safer environment for everyone.
​
For Adults
-
Travel Health: Certain destinations carry risks of preventable illnesses. We provide tailored vaccine advice and delivery to keep you protected abroad.
-
Booster Shots: Immunity can fade over time. Regular boosters for tetanus, diphtheria, and influenza help ensure ongoing protection.
-
Workplace Readiness: Many workplaces, especially in healthcare or childcare, require up-to-date immunisation records.
​
For Everyone
-
Public Health Protection: Widespread vaccination reduces the chance of disease outbreaks.
-
Support for Vulnerable Populations: When more people are immunised, it offers indirect protection for those unable to receive vaccines due to medical reasons.
