Quick answers

Childhood vaccines, in brief

Why vaccinate

Vaccines protect against serious, preventable diseases — the single most effective thing you can do for your child’s health.

When they start

At birth, then a series through infancy, with boosters in later childhood.

What we do

Give the full recommended schedule on time, keep records, and remind you when the next is due.

Is it safe

Vaccines are very safe; mild soreness or a brief fever can happen and settles quickly.

01 / Understanding it

Why the schedule matters

Vaccines work by teaching a child’s immune system to recognise and fight a disease before they ever meet it — so that if they do, their body is ready. They are the reason diseases that once killed or disabled children are now rare.

Childhood vaccines are given on a schedule for a reason: each is timed to when a child most needs protection and when their immune system will respond best. Starting at birth and continuing through infancy and early childhood, the doses build and then boost that protection — which is why giving them on time, and not missing doses, matters.

At Medifirst, the paediatric team gives the full recommended schedule, explains each vaccine and what to expect, keeps an accurate immunisation record, and reminds you when the next dose is due — so your child stays protected without you having to keep track of it all. Missed or delayed vaccines can usually be caught up safely.

02 / Is treatment right for you?

Keeping your child protected

The aim is simple: every recommended vaccine, on time, with nothing missed.

  • You have a newborn due their birth and infant vaccines
  • Your child has an upcoming scheduled dose or booster
  • You’ve missed or delayed doses and need to catch up
  • You’re unsure what your child has had or is due
  • You need a vaccination record for school

07 / Your questions, answered

Vaccination questions, answered

Why are childhood vaccines important?
Vaccines protect children against serious, preventable diseases by preparing the immune system before exposure. They are the single most effective thing a parent can do for a child’s health, and are the reason many once-common childhood diseases are now rare.
Are vaccines safe?
Yes, childhood vaccines are very safe and thoroughly tested. Mild, short-lived effects like soreness at the injection site or a brief low fever can happen and settle quickly. Serious reactions are very rare, and the team advises what to watch for.
What if we’ve missed some vaccines?
Missed or delayed doses can almost always be caught up safely. Bring your child’s record (or come without it) and the paediatric team will work out a catch-up schedule.
Do you give vaccines on the national schedule?
Yes. Medifirst gives the full recommended childhood schedule, including the vaccines in the government programme and optional additional ones, which the paediatrician explains so you can choose.
Will my child have a fever after vaccination?
Some children have a mild, brief fever or soreness after certain vaccines, which is a normal immune response and settles within a day or two. The team tells you what is normal and when to seek advice.
Do you keep a vaccination record?
Yes. Your child’s immunisation record is kept accurately and updated at each visit, and you are reminded when the next dose is due — useful for school requirements too.
