There are many health benefits for your child by being immunised against common diseases, including a lower risk of sudden infant death
Red Nose recommends immunisation for babies.
- Immunisation is a safe way to protect your baby from disease.
- The risk to your baby from having their vaccinations is much less than the risks to them should they catch these diseases.
- Research shows being immunised does not increase the risk of infant death. In fact, the risk of sudden death is decreased for these children.
- Infants should not be immunised if there are medical reasons not to. Your GP or paediatrician can give you advice if you believe your child is at risk from being immunised.
Speak with a GP or Family Health Nurse for further information about immunising babies.
