KEY POINTS

• According to Dr Scott, routine vaccines under the National Immunisation Program are highly recommended, with legal implications that may affect government payments and daycare access if missed.
• Vaccines under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) are free for all Medicare card holders and can be accessed through GPs, community health clinics, or council clinics.
• She adds that those without Medicare can still access vaccines for free through the National Immunisation Program, though a small consultation fee may apply at their GP or clinic.
