Protect tamariki for life. Immunise.

Immunisation saves lives. Getting your tamariki vaccinated is one of the best ways to set them up for a healthy future. Vaccines on the National Immunisation Schedule are free for all tamariki under 18 in Aotearoa New Zealand.

National Immunisation schedule

Learn about the vaccines on the National Immunisation schedule. This outlines the free vaccines offered to tamariki and the best time to get them vaccinated.

Booking an immunisation appointment

Find out where you can get immunised, how to book an appointment, and what to do if your child is not enrolled with a doctor.

Catching up on missed vaccinations

Catching up on missed immunisations is easy. Find out how to check if your whānau have missed any, what to do if you’ve had vaccinations overseas, and what to do if your tamariki missed a school vaccination.

When to immunise

Free vaccinations start when babies are 6 weeks old and continue into adulthood. Immunising at the recommended times gives the best protection.

Get a personalised immunisation schedule

Based on the National Immunisation Schedule, this handy tool shows what immunisations your child needs from 6 weeks to 13 years, and the dates due. It does not look at your child’s medical records, so your child may have had some vaccines already.

Use this as a general guide, and be aware that dates may vary depending on previous vaccination dates, or other clinical circumstances. Always consult your usual doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider about your child’s vaccinations.
