Different states - different vacc schedules?

[Indadhanu]

I have the immunisation thing in front of me and it is a national program (National Immunisation Program Schedule), and hep B is offered at birth, 2 months, 4 months, and then either 6 or 12 months. Jazz got hers at 6 months, I think thats the usual way of doing it, but it doesn't seem out of the ordinary to wait until 12 months (they do get a lot at 6 months, so i guess some people prefer to space it out maybe?).
Funny they didn't either check before the rest were done though

Vic is slightly diff to QLD so maybe theyre the same as Tas??

Apparently the 18 month ones are different as well? Bahh anyone would think I just moved to a different bloody country.

Not that I miss Queensland or anything, guess things just make more sense up there!!

Oh - but the good news - they actually bulk billed for the vacc's today - yay. At least one thing was in my favour.

[sneakysparkle]

yay for bulk billing!!

[Arimeh]

Haha I thought you were going to tell me to move back to Queensland

Too freakin hot up there - was a lovely 17 degrees here today ... ahhh.... warm...

[sneakysparkle]

wasn't hot today! Its all rainy! Really crap for trying to dry nappies

Don't they normally bulk bill for vaccs? I've never paid for mine?? And of course you should move back up to the smart state

Yup, that's it hun!

Ok I'll rephrase - I don't miss the queensland heat, but I miss my gorgeous bb friends up there

i should also mention it depends on which brqand of vaccinations they use as some need extra doses as they are lsigthtly smaller doses etc.

18 months is only varilrix ( chicken pox)
alot of drs will use this one to catch up on any missed hep b shots or similar
