Curious about immunisation

Hey Everyone,

I was told by a Doctor in Canberra that each State has a different immunisation schedule. I find that odd so just wanted to ask everyone ( especially in ACT ) how many needles were given at the 2, 4 , 6 and 12month ones.

Thanks

Thank's for that! The way my Doctor here reacted I was a bit concerned. I'm happy to know it is normal.

Re: Curious about immunisation

I was told that to have your child immunised they have to be well on the day they are seen and i was also told that they have to be free of allergies and thing. Since i have had a stay in hospital with my son he was updated and fully immunised. Now i am being told the completely different thing. funnily. Doctors have there own opinoins when it comes to things like this and they chose what they think is best. Whether or not it is the right choice for the family or not!!!

Re: Curious about immunisation

I'm in Q too. I was asking as I had his 4month one's done in canberra while on holiday. The Doctor mixed D.T.P, polio, Hib and Hep b into 1 needle and then the Pneumococcal in a seperate one so he only had 2 needles. I took him yesterday for his 12month one's here in Qld and mentioned to the doctor about it as he had to have 3 needles yesterday. The Doctor went off ranting that it can't be done as it is very dangerous and He has not herd of it being allowed. It is written in my book so I havn't gotten it wrong and was just wondering if it is done in other states.
