Vaccines are a free and safe way to protect your child.

Getting vaccines:

• protects your child from serious diseases

• protects your family and community

• makes it easier to use childcare services

• helps you get some family payments from the government.

It’s important to make sure your child gets their vaccines on time.

If your child gets their vaccines late, they could be at risk of getting very sick.

Your child might still be able to get vaccines if they just have a:

• runny nose
• cold.

You can ask your doctor or a nurse if your child should wait to get a vaccine.
