CHILDHOOD IMMUNISATIONS
Childhood immunisation appointments attract a $65 gap fee and involve:
-
A dedicated nurse appointment: including growth and measurement checks.
-
A vaccine component with both the nurse and your GP.
-
A dedicated 15 minute appointment with your GP following vaccinations, who will conduct a thorough Blue Book check, and will give you the opportunity to discuss any developmental concerns, referrals, prescriptions, etc.
Please note that Double Bay Doctors does not offer a 'vaccinations only' appointment for childhood immunisations, so the gap fee will apply to all immunisation appointments.
If your child is receiving a Bexsero vaccine, an additional cost of $145 per dose for the vaccine applies.
