Child Health Surveillance
Childhood Immunisation
Immunisation (also known as vaccination) is a safe and effective way to help the body prevent or fight off certain diseases. It is important as not only will it protect your child against diseases that can cause serious illness and even death, but also by preventing their spread to other susceptible individuals.
