Immunisations in Werribee for Every Age

Vaccines are among the most effective tools in preventive medicine. They are also the part of healthcare that most often slips through the cracks. Appointments get missed, records go missing after a move, and adults rarely think about boosters until a GP mentions them. Our team offers immunisations in Werribee for the whole family and can help you work out what is due.

Vaccinations are given by our GPs and practice nurse. Every dose is recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register, so your history follows you wherever you go next.

Vaccines We Commonly Give

• Childhood vaccines on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) schedule, from birth to adolescence

• Catch-up vaccinations for children and adults who have missed doses or are new to Australia

• Seasonal influenza vaccines, which are free under the NIP for children aged six months to under five, people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people with certain medical conditions

• Whooping cough, flu and RSV vaccines recommended during pregnancy

• Shingles and pneumococcal vaccines for older adults

• Work-related and travel vaccines, which may involve a cost for the vaccine itself

Parents often have questions about timing, side effects or combining several vaccines in one visit. Our parent’s guide to childhood vaccinations covers the basics. Your GP is always happy to talk it through on the day too.

What Happens at Your Appointment

Your GP or nurse checks your history, confirms the vaccine is right for you and explains what to expect afterwards. After the injection, you’ll be asked to wait in the clinic for about 15 minutes. This is standard practice so any rare reaction can be managed straight away. Mild soreness at the injection site, tiredness or a low-grade fever for a day or two are common and usually settle on their own.

Consultations are bulk billed for patients with a valid Medicare card. If a vaccine sits outside the NIP, our team will tell you about any cost before it is given. Full details are set out in our fees and billing information.
