Immunisation

Jabs protect you, your family and community

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are at higher risk of some life-threatening diseases. So, it is important for you to get your jab on time and keep them up to date even once you’re an adult. You might also need to have extra jabs on top of those recommended for each group.

Jabs (immunisation) are a simple and effective way of protecting children and adults from serious life-threatening diseases. But to get the best protection, you should receive every vaccination on time.
