FAQ
Are there free vaccines for babies and infants?
There are additional vaccines that are not provided free as part of the NIP, which your GP may recommend, for example, those against influenza, vaccines against different types of meningococcal strains and travel vaccines. Your GP or practice nurse will be able to advise you about the benefits and risks of these immunisations for your baby.
In addition, children with certain medical conditions may be eligible for additional vaccines for free. Speak with your GP or practice nurse for more information.
