Hi,

Does anyone know if kids need a Hep B immunisation to keep them in line with the childhood immunisations that all Australian children have?

Been looking on www.health.gov.au and it seems it is offered at birth and then again from 10 to 13 years.

My children have had individual Hep B shots to catch up since they weren't included in the shots they had in Canada.

My son has just finished his, I think they are regularly offered at 2 months 4 months and either 6 or 12 months? My daughter had to have her shots separate as well.

When we arrived they put the kids on a catch up schedule at their doctors office.
