Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting against harmful diseases.
Our immunisation program offers vaccinations listed under the National Immunisation Program Schedule and operates within the National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) guidelines.
The National Immunisation Program (NIP) Schedule outlines which immunisations should be given from newborns to adults. Vaccines through the NIP are free for eligible people. Individuals aged 10 to 19, refugees and humanitarian entrants aged 20 and over are now eligible to receive free catch-up vaccines.
For more information on when to get vaccinated, eligibility and catch-up vaccinations, please visit Australian Goverment - Immunisation.
You can see the Queensland immunisation schedules on the Queensland Health website.
The community we live in influences our health and through immunisation, we can mitigate disease and increase health and wellbeing. Our Immunisation strategy 2022 - 2025 (PDF 2 MB) defines key directions and actions for us that will contribute to positive outcomes for our city.
