Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which vaccinations I need?
Your vaccination needs may depend on your age, medical history, lifestyle, and future travel plans. The consulting doctors may review your records and provide individualised recommendations aligned with the latest vaccination schedule.
Are childhood vaccines safe?
Yes, vaccines approved in Australia go through rigorous safety testing and continuous monitoring. The vaccines administered by consulting doctors are those approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and are considered safe and effective for protecting children from serious diseases.
Can I get vaccinated if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes—certain vaccines, such as influenza and whooping cough, are recommended during pregnancy to protect both mother and baby. Your doctor will advise which vaccines are appropriate for your stage of pregnancy.
Do I need vaccines before travelling overseas?
Yes, certain destinations may expose you to illnesses not commonly found in Australia. A consultation for travel vaccinations may help determine what protection is required based on your location, duration of travel, and planned activities.
Is it possible to combine multiple vaccinations in one visit?
In many cases, yes. The consulting doctors may administer multiple vaccines safely in one session, depending on the type of vaccines and your health status. This is especially convenient for busy families or those preparing for international travel.
