Immunisation schedule and catch-up immunisations
Immunisation schedule
The WA Immunisation Schedule (PDF 129KB) lists government-funded vaccines for various groups.
2021 Influenza vaccination program Important ATAGI information (external site) and advice on COVID-19 vaccination and influenza vaccination (external site).
Use the meningococcal and pneumococcal tables (PDF 179KB) to assist in implementing the immunisation schedule.
Meningococcal B program
From 1 July 2020, the meningococcal B (Bexsero®) vaccine has been added to the schedule.
IMPORTANT – It is recommended that children are given prophylactic paracetamol to reduce the probability and severity of fever that may develop following immunisation with Bexsero®. Please see the WA guidance on managing fever after meningococcal B vaccine (PDF 160KB) for more information. This guidance has also been developed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (PDF 585KB).
Catch-up immunisations
When children/students miss doses of routine childhood vaccines, they should be vaccinated using an appropriate catch-up schedule as soon as possible. Refer to the Australian Immunisation Handbook (external site) for details.
You can also refer to the Immunisation calculator (external site) which is based on the Australian National Immunisation Program (NIP) for all Australian children/ students.
