Baby vaccinations in Carindale, right on schedule.

Protecting your baby, starting in pregnancy
Protecting your baby against infection starts before birth. Whooping cough, flu and RSV vaccines given during pregnancy pass antibodies to your baby, giving protection in the first months of life before they’re old enough for their own vaccines. Your baby then starts their own schedule, with the first vaccines due at six weeks.
At Carindale Doctors, we can give pregnancy vaccines and then keep your baby’s vaccinations right on schedule, with reminders for every visit. We also discuss RSV protection options for newborns and explain what each vaccine protects against, so you can make confident decisions for your family.
In short: Carindale Doctors keeps baby vaccinations right on schedule inside Westfield Carindale, starting with whooping cough, flu and RSV vaccines in pregnancy and continuing with free National Immunisation Program vaccines from six weeks. Children 16 and under are bulk billed.
- Whooping cough vaccine in pregnancy
- Flu vaccine in any trimester
- RSV protection discussed for mum and baby
- Six-week vaccines from six weeks of age
- Four, six and twelve-month vaccines
- Reminders so you never miss a dose
Why on-time vaccines matter
Babies are most vulnerable to serious infections like whooping cough in their first months. Vaccinating on time, rather than a few weeks late, closes that window of risk as early as possible. Our Carindale team books your next visit before you leave, so staying on schedule is easy.

Protecting the people around your baby
Babies are also protected when the people around them are vaccinated. Consider:
- Parents: whooping cough and flu vaccines.
- Grandparents and carers: whooping cough boosters if it's been ten years.
- Older siblings: keeping their own vaccines up to date.
- Visitors: staying away when unwell.
We can vaccinate the whole family at our clinic.
