Baby vaccinations in Carindale, calm and unhurried.
Baby vaccinations in Carindale are easier when nobody is rushing. We give National Immunisation Program vaccines alongside growth and development checks, so every visit counts. Book online today.
Your baby's vaccinations in the first year
The first year is when babies receive most of their early vaccinations. At six weeks, four months and six months, your baby is protected against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, hepatitis B, Hib, pneumococcal disease and rotavirus, with the rotavirus vaccine given as drops by mouth. At twelve months, the measles, mumps and rubella and meningococcal vaccines are added.
At Carindale Doctors, we keep these visits calm and unhurried. You can feed or cuddle your baby during the injections, and we’ll check weight, length, head size and development while you’re here. Baby vaccinations on the National Immunisation Program are free, and the consultation is bulk billed.
In short: Carindale Doctors gives free baby vaccinations inside Westfield Carindale at six weeks, four months, six months and twelve months, alongside growth and development checks. Consultations are bulk billed for children 16 and under, and every vaccine is recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register.

A rushed appointment can be stressful for parents and babies alike. Our Carindale team takes time to explain each vaccine, answer your questions and let you settle your baby before and after.

What's normal after baby vaccinations
Most babies have mild reactions that settle within a day or two:
- Soreness or redness: where the needle went in.
- Mild fever: usually under 38.5 degrees.
- Grizzliness or extra sleepiness: for a day or so.
- Small lump: at the injection site, which can last a few weeks.
Offer extra feeds and cuddles, and dress your baby lightly if they’re warm.

- Vaccines due on the schedule
