Vaccination and immunisation

Getting your baby immunised is important as it helps protect them against serious infection and disease. Some vaccines provide immunity that lasts a lifetime, but sometimes to get full protection, the immunity has to be built up gradually through regular repeated doses. The immunisation schedule is designed to give your baby maximum protection¹. It should be followed even if your baby is premature, as premature babies have lower immunity than full-term babies².
