Immunisations

The new NZ immunisation website has consumer friendly information on the national immunisation schedule, how to book immunisations , catch up immunisations and the ability to generate a personalised schedule for a child based on their date of brith and the immunisation schedule. This can help parents be aware of what is contained in the immunisation schedule and when to expect these to occur for their tamariki.
