Immunisations

Childhood infections like measles and whooping cough continue to spread in our communities, with outbreaks linked to nurseries and schools across the country particularly affecting young children.

Such infections can have a huge impact on your child’s life. They can miss out on school due to time spent unwell, be hospitalised, and even experience life-long complications and disability.

If your child isn’t vaccinated, they’re not protected. It is important for parents to take up the offer of the free NHS childhood immunisation programme as soon as they are offered ensure your child has the best protection.

However, if you or your child have missed a vaccine, it is never too late to check if you can catch up. Check your child’s red book to see if the children have missed any vaccines or check with their GP if they are unsure.

Please visit www.nhs.uk/childhoodvaccinations for the full immunisation timetable and information on how to book.
