Childhood Immunisations

At Harbour Town Doctors Surfers Paradise, we are committed to ensuring the health and well-being of your child. One of the most effective ways to protect your child from serious diseases is through childhood vaccination. We proudly participate in Australia’s National Immunisation Program (NIP), providing comprehensive vaccination services to children in our community.

Why Childhood Vaccination Matters:

Childhood immunisation is a crucial aspect of preventive healthcare. It helps safeguard your child’s health by building immunity against various preventable diseases. The NIP ensures that all eligible children in Australia receive the necessary vaccines free of charge. By vaccinating your child, you not only protect them but also contribute to the overall health and safety of the community.

Our Commitment to Quality Care:

At Harbour Town Doctors Surfers Paradise, we prioritise the health and safety of your child. Our experienced healthcare professionals are well-trained in administering vaccines and providing guidance on immunisation schedules. We ensure that each vaccination is given with care and compassion, and we take the time to address any concerns or questions you may have.
