Vaccinating your child is one of the most effective ways to safeguard their health and contribute to a healthier community.

Vaccines are like personal trainers for your child’s immune system, teaching it to recognise and fight off harmful viruses and bacteria. With this protection, your child is ready to tackle any germs that come their way!

Think of childhood vaccinations as a shield against serious diseases like measles, polio, and whooping cough—illnesses that can lead to severe complications or even be life-threatening. These vaccines are thoroughly tested and proven to be safe, so you can feel confident that you’re giving your child the best start in life.

When you vaccinate your child, you’re not just protecting them—you’re also playing a crucial role in keeping the whole community safe by preventing the spread of these dangerous diseases.

The best part? Vaccinations for preventable illnesses, like measles, are completely free as part of the NHS childhood vaccination schedule. And if your child has missed any doses, don’t worry! Catching up is easy—just contact your GP practice, and they’ll work with you to find an appointment time that fits your busy life. Learn more at NHS Vaccinations.
