Child Health & Vaccinations

Our General Practitioner is very experienced with infant, child, and adolescent health. Our holistic approach and focus on optimal wellness extend to both children and adolescents.

​

Dr Nichola Salmond has a special interest in treating attention deficit disorder and mood disorders in children and adolescents.

 

We have health checks for adolescents, including checking their current hepatitis B vaccination status and important vitamins.

 

We carry all routine child vaccinations

​

Vaccination is an important step in protecting your child against a range of serious and potentially fatal diseases. They are quick, safe and extremely effective. Once your child has been vaccinated against a disease, their body can fight it more effectively. If a child isn’t vaccinated, they will have an increased risk of catching the illness.

 

Both our GPs have many years of experience in child immunisation.

 

Child Vaccination Schedule

 

We are aware of the concerns many parents have about the amount and safety of vaccinations in young babies and children.

Please book in to see either of our GPs if you would like to discuss your concerns. We are happy to work with parents' concerns and, in some cases, delay certain vaccines if this can be done safely.
