There's a lot of info out there about it, so anyone with a newborn baby usually gets the whole family a shot or is at least encouraged to. I don't know what the percentage is, but I know it was mentioned to me numerous times during the course of my pregnancy with Max although I already knew about the need for booster shots, so it wasn't really an issue for us.

Most GP's will encourage the mother and father and other siblings (if they're old enough to warrant the need) to have a booster at the same time the baby gets their immunisation at 2 months. I know mine did and most other mothers I know of had the same offer.
