Adults who may have been immunised as children, may need booster doses to maintain immunity from certain diseases (such as whooping cough).

The following vaccines may be recommended for adults:

Some people have additional vaccination requirements. Talk to your doctor before being vaccinated if you:

• are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy
• have previously had a serious adverse event following immunisation
• have impaired immunity due to disease or treatment.

Some vaccines are available free of charge for eligible people through the National Immunisation Program Schedule Queensland (PDF, 135KB). You will have to pay for other vaccines with a prescription from your doctor.
