Childhood immunisations

Childhood immunisation appointments attract a $55 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.

The cost of your procedure is dependent upon the complexity and duration.
 
All procedures attract a private fee regardless of your age or concession.
