Vaccination in Australia is a very strict matter, even the slightest mistake must be corrected. When vaccinated, doctors are tired of having vaccinators or family members check the vaccine information over and over again before getting vaccinated. In addition, Australian vaccine testing is also very strict.
1. Vaccine safety test
The development, production, testing and research of Australian vaccines are strictly regulated, and the ingredients, preservatives, additives and other ingredients of each vaccine are closely documented, and each vaccine takes as long as a decade to be put into use.
2. Vaccine safety monitoring
Australian vaccine research and testing all aspects of vaccine development and production will be strictly regulated, production processes and detailed monitoring reports.
Before the vaccine is used by the public, the vaccine will be tested on thousands of testers in multiple clinics and will be followed up with strict follow-up. Each vaccine goes through such a process, from basic testing to later follow-up supervision.
3, register before u
In Australia, all vaccines in use must be registered with the Australian Drug Administration (TGA),) to ensure that the vaccine is effective.
4. Vaccine supplier networking registration
Australia has a national electronic monitoring system that feeds back all of the vaccine providers, vaccine buyers, doctors, vaccine test participants, events or activities after vaccination with (AEFI) to the TGA.
In this way, if there is a problem with the vaccine, the supplier concerned, the flow of the vaccine, the use of the vaccine doctor can be identified as soon as possible.
5. Personal injection records
In Australia, as soon as a child is born, during the hospital, nurses prepare all the documentation, materials to provide parents with birth certificates, information manuals and even products on all aspects of parenting provided by goverment. There is also a unique blue health record book for Australian children.
This book will keep track of all the health problems that children encounter as they grow up, as well as the timing, location, and brand of the vaccine, which are very important evidence for future school attendance.
In this way, once the flow and use of the problematic vaccine are identified by doctors, it is possible to quickly detect which children are affected.
6, no category II vaccines and "autonomous procurement"
The event of the "black heart vaccine", all of the "class II vaccines" prescribed by China.
In China, the first type of vaccine is compulsory vaccination, all of which are allocated by the state, and the second type of vaccine is voluntary and can be purchased independently in the market.
Pang Mou is from this kind of "independent" find empty son, big black heart rich.
And in Australia, there is no category II vaccine and "self-procurement" of the term.
How do people vaccinate children in Australia?
There are growing numbers of Chinese immigrants in Australia, many of whom are born in Australia and parents do not know much about Australia's infant vaccine system.
Australia's universal health care system is well developed, vaccination is free. All children under 7 years of age registered with Medicare are included in Australian Childhood Immunization Register (ACIR).
Where vaccines can be provided are:
- Immunization Clinic；
- General Practices；
- Hospitals;
- Local City Council;
- Aboriginal Community Controlled Healthy Service。
The easiest thing to do is to set up a baby's vaccine record at the nearest General Practices,.
Parents can go to Healthengine.com.au and other websites to inquire about GP, near their home or Google directly to search for their business hours and contact information.
Some GP do not provide vaccination services, so it is best to call in advance to confirm.
If the baby has been vaccinated in the country before, it is best to bring translated records, and nurses will propose additional items based on them.
Most parents also choose to live in City Council., where they belong. But each City Council has a fixed vaccination schedule every month, preferably by phone or e-mail confirmation in advance.
It is important to note that the Australian and Chinese vaccine systems are slightly different, for example, the hepatitis B vaccine is a total of four doses, while in China there are only three.
So when consulting health care workers, previous vaccine records are important, and be sure to ask in detail about the disease and when you should be vaccinated.

Mother's experience of Sino-Australian vaccine
1. All vaccines needed in Australia are free. There are no self-financing items.
Goverment, Australia, really cares about children. On this side, children's vaccines are free, and one-and-a-half-year-olds will be rewarded with more than two hundred Australian dollars (goverment) at the age of one and a half. Not for the child, but for the parents, and thank the parents for giving their children regular injections.
To prevent parents from forgetting to inject their children, goverment also sends letters to parents as they approach the injection date, reminding them when to take the next injection. When receiving milk gold, whether there is a regular vaccination will also be taken into account.
If you don't get the injection on time, you probably won't even get the milk gold. The kindergarten also instructs parents to inject their children on time and to update their records.
2. Australia's vaccines are concentrated, mostly with needles, five times a year from birth to the age of one, and then four.
Domestic vaccination from birth to one year of age is relatively scattered, nine months before the injection is very frequent, each month has several shots. It feels like babies in the country are going to suffer more.
Australia's children are much happier, with the exception of the hepatitis B vaccine that was given to the hospital at birth and then three vaccines every two months in 2-4-6.
One of the six-in-one vaccines takes just one shot to prevent six diseases (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b).
In China, only high-end hospitals have the vaccine at their own expense, and the price of each needle can catch up with the cost of a round-trip ticket to Australia.
For ordinary Chinese children, six shots are needed to achieve one dose of the six-in-one vaccine.
3. Imported or domestic needles.
Australia, of course, is a vaccine on the Australian side, so there's no need to think about it. At home, it is divided into domestic and imported. It may be time for parents to wrestle with each other.
4. The doctor's strict responsibility.
In Australia, although a lot of paper information has been provided, nurses are tired of asking parents to take a look first before each vaccination, especially to see if their child has any recent physical discomfort such as fever. And remind parents whether the different vaccines or oral, where the injection, after the injection needs to wait about 20 minutes before leaving the abnormal, and so on. China basically does not have these oral instructions, there is no official written information, doctors and nurses will stress that after playing, drink more water, the day only with water bath and other points for attention.
