Vaccination is the best way to protect babies and children against serious illness and hospitalisation from diseases including measles, diphtheria and pneumococcal.

The National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides free routine vaccines recommended for all children in Australia aged 0 to 4 years.

Before a vaccine is added to the NIP, it is rigorously assessed to make sure it is safe, effective and provides strong protection.

Check the NIP schedule to find out which vaccines your family can get for free and when. 🗓️
