The term "homoeopathic vaccine" is a misnomer. Immunisation is a phrase used in medicine to describe the process of encouraging the body to build up resistance to certain pathogens. In order to develop immunity, vaccines stimulate the body to produce antibodies, which are specialised cells that fight pathogens.
Homoeopathic medications are not a viable substitute for traditional vaccines since they do not rely on the production of specific antibodies or germ-fighting cells. The Australian Government's recommendations for the immunisation of children are still being conveyed to parents by the Victorian Department of Health.
