Child Immunisations

Immunisations are sometimes called vaccinations and prevent your child from getting certain childhood illnesses. It is important that they are up to date with these. You will usually be contacted when it is time for these.

If you are worried that your child may have missed an immunisation, speak to your health visitor.

To find out more about each immunisation or to check any changes please visit the NHS website: NHS vaccinations and when to have them.
