We have teamed up with Moonee Valley Libraries to mark the completion of childhood immunisations. When families attend a Council-run community immunisation session for their 4 year old's immunisations, they will receive a complimentary picture book. Together, we are working to improve childhood literacy and school readiness by connecting families participating in this program with free library books and services.
Immunisation session information
Please do not attend the session if you or your child are unwell. A runny nose does not preclude a child from immunisation and it is safe to give immunisations as long as your child does not have a fever.
Request for immunisation records
What to do if your child has been immunised overseas
If you child had immunisations administered overseas and you would like them added to the Australian Immunisation Register please complete the Application for Immunisation Record (PDF) and forward it to immunisation@mvcc.vic.gov.au.

Whether you have missed previous vaccinations or are newly arrived in Australia a free catch-up immunisation service is available at Moonee Valley City Council.

No jab, no play
All parents/guardians planning to enrol their child at childcare or kindergarten in Victoria must provide the service with:
- a current Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR); AND
- the statement must show that the child is up to date with all vaccinations that are due for their age, or that they are able to receive.
The Immunisation History Statement from the AIR lists the vaccines the child has received and, if applicable, which vaccines are due in the future and when. Medical exemption may also be listed, where applicable.
An Immunisation History Statement from the AIR is the only type of immunisation record accepted by early childhood and care services for the purposes of confirming enrolment and must be provided within the 2 months prior to the child starting at the service.
