FAQs
What childhood immunisations do you provide at Arkaba Medical Centre?
We offer the complete range of childhood vaccinations recommended by the Australian National Immunisation Program, including vaccines for diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, whooping cough, and meningococcal disease. Our thorough immunisation schedule covers infants from 6 weeks through to adolescents, and we’ll make certain your child receives all age-appropriate vaccines according to the recommended timeline.
How do you make immunisations less stressful for children and parents?
We understand that vaccinations can be anxiety-provoking for both children and parents, so we’ve created a patient-centred approach that prioritises comfort and care. Our experienced healthcare team uses gentle techniques, provides clear explanations about what to expect, and offers strategies to help calm nervous children. We’ll work with you to schedule appointments at convenient times and make sure you feel fully supported throughout the process.
Are the vaccines you use safe, and what side effects should we expect?
Yes, all vaccines we administer are approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and have undergone rigorous safety testing. We are committed to providing trusted, safe care, which means we only use high-quality vaccines with proven safety records. Most children experience only mild side effects like temporary redness at the injection site or low-grade fever, and we’ll provide you with detailed information about what to monitor and when to contact us if you have concerns.
Can you catch up on missed vaccinations if we are behind schedule?
Absolutely – we provide flexible care that accommodates your family’s unique circumstances. If your child has missed scheduled immunisations, we’ll assess their current vaccination status and create a catch-up plan that ensures they receive all necessary protection. Our multi-disciplinary team will work with you to develop a timeline that’s safe and appropriate for your child’s age and health status.
Do you keep vaccination records, and can you help with school requirements?
We maintain thorough immunisation records for all our patients and can provide the documentation you’ll need for childcare enrolment, school entry, and other requirements. As part of our commitment to serving Adelaide families, we understand the importance of having accurate, accessible vaccination records, and we’ll make sure you have copies of all necessary certificates and can easily obtain them when needed.
