Childhood Immunisations
For families with children we emphasize the particular importance of recording immunisations and vaccination history of children, as this is an important aspect of your child's healthcare.
In accordance with the NHS Vaccination Schedule, we offer routine childhood immunisations.
Routine childhood immunisations include Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio and Haemophilus influenza type B immunisation, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Meningitis B, Meningitis C, Pneumococcus, Rotavirus, Hepatitis B, and Seasonal Influenza.
Please note the schedule below for information on NHS vaccinations for babies and children and when to have them, or visit the NHS website by following this link:>>
We will contact you when your child is due for a vaccination. But If you believe your child may have missed a vaccination, please contact us to let us know.
