BABY IMMUNISATION

IMMUNISATIONS FOR CHILDREN

It is important that your child is propertly immunised against the following serious illnesses: Tetanus, Poliomyelitis, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hib and Meningitis.

The practice runs a comprehensive infant and pre-school immunisation programme, in liaison with the Health Visitor.

Parents are automatically informed when their child is due for their next injection. these are usually given by the Practice Nurse. Please note that unless there is a valid medical reason, we expect that all children should have the complete course of recommended immunisations.

If your child is not immunised then as well as being a risk to themselves, they may also pose a risk to other children as they may be a carrier for these diseases.
