Childhood Immunisations

Childhood immunisations are carried out at the surgery and all parents are encouraged to arrange for their children to be vaccinated against these potentially serious diseases.

Here’s a checklist of the vaccines that are routinely offered to everyone in the UK free of charge on the NHS and the ages at which they should ideally be given. We follow this schedule at the surgery.

If you’re not sure whether you or your child have had all your routine vaccinations, ask your GP or practice nurse to find out for you. It may be possible to catch up later in life.

Try to have your vaccinations delivered on time to ensure protection.
