What Are Immunisations?
Immunisations are a safe and effective way to protect individuals and the community from serious infectious diseases. Vaccines work by stimulating your body’s immune system to build resistance against specific diseases, helping to prevent illness and reduce the risk of outbreaks.
At Landmark, we follow the Australian National Immunisation Program (NIP) schedule to provide vaccines at the recommended stages of life. From childhood immunisations to travel vaccines, our experienced GPs and healthcare professionals are here to guide you every step of the way.
