Vaccinations
Immunisations or vaccinations are given to help prevent people getting certain diseases. It is important to make sure you and your children have their routine vaccinations delivered on time to protect against these diseases.
To find out more information on vaccinations you can visit your local GP, speak to your health visitor or Children’s Centre.
Do you have an appointment for a vaccination?
Please make sure you keep it
Vaccinations protect against serious illnesses now and in the future, so it’s really important to keep up to date with jabs for you and your family. This is particular important if you are pregnant or have small children. You should attend your appointments as normal, as long as you don’t have symptoms of COVID-19 and you are not self-isolating. Read the frequently asked questions below, or speak to your GP or health visitor if you are still unsure.
