Child Immunisation
It is important that your children are fully immunized against all childhood diseases. Please arrange an appointment for your child's vaccinations.
All children under 5 are seen regularly by the Health Visitors, who also carry out developmental checks at appropriate intervals. Routine immunisations are a most important part of preventative care for children, and we strongly recommend that your child has all the immunisations offered.
There are routine clinics run by your GP who checks your child’s health and development at eight weeks of age. The first immunisations and the pre-school booster are given at this clinic.
