Childhood Immunisation Information for Korean-Speaking Families
At The Madison Medical Practice Northbridge, we believe every family deserves access to clear, reliable health information in their preferred language.
We're pleased to share that Dr Jung Yoon Huh, one of our Korean-speaking GPs, features in an Australian Government educational video explaining why childhood immunisations are important for children, families and the wider community.
Childhood vaccinations are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children against serious infectious diseases.
When most children are vaccinated, it also helps protect the wider community through community immunity (herd immunity). This is especially important for:
Babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated
People with weakened immune systems
Individuals who cannot receive certain vaccines for medical reasons
By keeping vaccination rates high, we help reduce the spread of preventable diseases and keep our communities healthier.
The Australian Government Department of Health has developed a comprehensive range of free childhood immunisation resources in Korean to help families make informed healthcare decisions.
These resources include:
Korean-language fact sheets
Educational videos
Easy-to-understand vaccination information
Printable resources, including fridge magnets and reminder materials
Having access to health information in your own language makes it easier to understand vaccination recommendations and feel confident about protecting your child's health.
