Services we provide
Childhood Immunisation & Paediatric Care
Parents want to feel confident that they are making the best health care decisions for their children.
This confidence can be undermined when there is conflicting information in the media and on the Internet. Nowhere is this more prevalent than when it comes to the topic of the safety of childhood vaccines-come and talk to our dedicated team of Doctors and Nurses about your child’s immunisations.
The value and safety of vaccinating children against dangerous illnesses cannot be overstated.
The benefits of vaccination in preventing illness and death have been repeatedly proven and greatly outweigh the risks.

Adult Immunisation
You never outgrow the need for vaccines.
The specific immunizations you need as an adult are determined by factors such as your age, lifestyle, high-risk conditions, type and locations of travel, and previous immunizations.

To help you understand what vaccines you might need come in and talk to our Doctors and Nurses at Plaza Medical about your situation.
