Childhood Immunisations

Vaccinations are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children from serious infectious diseases. Following the recommended immunisation schedule helps to provide protection at the right time as your child grows and also helps to protect the wider community.

We understand that parents and carers may have questions about childhood vaccinations, what they protect against, and what to expect before and after appointments. The resources below provide trusted information from the NHS, GOV.UK, and vaccine experts to help you make informed decisions and understand the childhood immunisation programme.
