Things to remember for your appointment

On the day

  • For Parents and Carers, please bring your child’s Medicare Card and Child Health Record to the session. 
  • Please do not attend if you or a family member is unwell, especially with any symptoms of flu or COVID-19, including a fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, Please reschedule your appointment through CIRV.
  • Only bring the necessary family members to the appointment.

Please remain at the venue for 15 minutes following your vaccination for observation. If a reaction to a vaccine occurs, or persists for a long time, please contact your GP or nearest hospital. 

  • 6 week immunisations cannot be given even one day early.
  • 4 and 6 month immunisations must have an eight week gap between them.

Please be aware that if you present to a session when your child is not at the correct age, we may be unable to immunise your child. 

Meningococcal B (Bexsero) vaccination

  • Bexsero vaccine is only available for bookings during morning and afternoon immunisation sessions on CIRV. 
  • Bexsero can be safely given with other routine vaccines, including live vaccines.
    Children  can also receive Bexsero separately from other routine infant vaccines, with a minimum interval of 3 days from non-live vaccines, to minimise the risk of fever. In this case, we give routinely recommended vaccines first. If administering Bexsero separately from the 12 and 18 month vaccines, an interval of 2 weeks is recommended, as some of these vaccines are live and may cause a delayed fever 7-10 days post vaccination.
  • Children under 2 years of age are highly recommended to receive paracetamol with every dose of Bexsero, both before and after administration. Melbourne Vaccine Education Centre recommends children under 4 years of age receive  paracetamol  before and after every dose of Bexsero.
  • The 1st dose of paracetamol (15 mg/kg/dose) is recommended within 30 minutes before, or as soon as practicable after receiving the vaccine. This should be followed by 2 more doses of paracetamol given 4-6 hours apart, regardless of whether the child has a fever. 

More information regarding Meningococcal B vaccination can be found on the Department of Health and Better Health Channel website.
