Our Immunisation & Vaccination Services

We offer a comprehensive range of vaccines and immunisation services from our centrally located Sydney clinic. These include:

1. Childhood Vaccinations

We follow the National Immunisation Program (NIP) schedule for childhood immunisation, ensuring your child receives the recommended vaccinations at the correct developmental stages. Our clinic supports vaccinations for:

  • Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
  • Polio
  • Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)
  • Hepatitis B
  • Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib)
  • Pneumococcal and Meningococcal infections

Our team takes extra care to ensure your child feels safe and supported throughout the process. We can also advise on catch-up schedules if your child has missed a dose.

2. Travel Vaccinations

Planning an overseas trip? Protect yourself against region-specific illnesses with our travel vaccination service. We provide expert travel health advice and vaccinations based on your destination and travel itinerary.

Other vaccines, such as those in development for diseases like Ebola or malaria, are also crucial innovations that enhance global health security.

Important Note: Travel vaccines are not covered by Medicare and are charged privately. Please book your travel vaccination appointment at least six weeks prior to departure, as some vaccines require multiple doses or take time to become fully effective.

COVID-19 vaccines are crucial in preventing diseases and safeguarding public health. We also provide guidance on when to get your next dose, including for immunocompromised patients and those travelling overseas.

Why Choose Sydney Premier for Your Immunisations?

When it comes to vaccinations, quality, safety, and accuracy matter. Here’s why more Sydney residents trust us for their immunisation needs:

The rigorous processes involved in ensuring vaccine safety and effectiveness are overseen by the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, which focuses on assessing and ensuring the safety of vaccines and related medicinal products.

✓ Accredited for Vaccine Storage & Administration

Our clinic follows strict cold chain protocols, ensuring vaccines are stored at correct temperatures at all times. We are fully accredited under Australian Standards and regularly audited to maintain compliance.

The vaccines approved for use in Australia undergo rigorous processes to ensure their safety and effectiveness, including clinical trials and oversight by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

✓ Experienced Healthcare Professionals

Our doctors and nurses are experienced in administering vaccines to patients of all ages, including children and those with needle anxiety. We provide a calm, supportive environment and offer clear aftercare advice.

When vaccinated, the immune system responds by preparing the body for future infections, enhancing its ability to defend against diseases without causing illness.

✓ Yellow Fever Accredited Centre

Travelling to Africa or South America? We are an approved provider of Yellow Fever vaccinations, a requirement for entry into several countries. You’ll also receive an International Certificate of Vaccination, recognised worldwide.

Vaccination trains the body to create immune responses as if it were exposed to a disease, thereby enhancing the immune system’s ability to react quickly and effectively to future infections.

✓ Convenient Location & Flexible Appointments

Located in Sydney CBD, our clinic is easily accessible via public transport. We offer same-day appointments for most immunisation services and convenient online booking.

For parents seeking vaccination services, please contact your local Public Health Unit or the Australian Immunisation Register to obtain relevant immunisation records and information.
