    Late immunisations

    Now i know some people delay their kids immunisations for reasons and thats fine by me.

    But i have a quick question.

    Generally my kids have always been done on time (withing 1-2 weeks) of them being due. However my DD2 is now 8 months old and i still have not done her 6 month needle...

    Is there going to be a big problem with not having that done yet? As far as Roto Virus one goes?

    I will be doing them this weekend hopefully.

    Another question:

    How late can i delay DD1 18 month needle...thats the one i dont really want but i feel bad not doing it cos ive jabbed her any other time?

    Kim, i won't comment on the actual immunity side of things cos i have no idea - though from what i've read, immunising isn't the be all and end all - some parents are opting not to immunise their children with no ill effect, so i'm going to assume being a little bit late isn't a drama!!

    what i will comment on (cos i actually know this bit ) is that, if you are using child care, your CCB will cut out if you don't have your children up to date with immunisation, or your GP hasn't lodged an approved catch up plan with the immunisation register (or conscientious objection if that is the case - before i get in trouble from anyone!). if it cuts out, you won't be eligble for CCB until you're kidlet is up to date again and you provide the evidence to FAO.

    sorry, figured i'd pop in and mention it cos i'm pretty sure you've mentioned using child care in the past

    it will work against you for child care rebate (the 30/50% one) too - as you have to qualify for CCB to get CCR - and given that you are working from home, you should qualify for that one - from that perspective, i'd be getting it done sooner rather than later

    and up til this sunday, if your kidlet was up to date you'd be getting minimum rate CCB (16.74%) as even millionaires were entitled to it til the end of this week!

    Thanks heaps BG....i think for her safety ill get them done this weekend anyhow.

    Money means nothing to me...0% on childcare fees hurt though....both girls are in FDC now!

    Neither girls are up to date...Jasmine need her 6 month and Chelsea needs her 18 month (however they have paid her immunisation allowence..woohoo)!!

    Immunisation allowance only involves up to 12 month injection as 18 month isn't "compulsory"
