The UKHSA has launched a national campaign to increase the uptake of childhood immunisations among children aged 0-5 years. This campaign aims to highlight the serious risk of preventable childhood diseases and encourage parents to vaccinate their children.

Benefits of vaccination programmes:
✅help protect you and your child from many serious and potentially deadly diseases.
✅protect other people in in your family and community - by helping to stop diseases spreading to people who cannot have vaccines, such as babies too young to be vaccinated and those who are too ill to be vaccinated.
✅reduce or even get rid of some diseases - if enough people are vaccinated.

Contact the surgery if you think your child may have missed any of their vaccinations.

What is the COVID -19 vaccine for?
COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you’re at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.
The COVID-19 vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It’s important to top up your protection if you’re eligible.
Getting the COVID-19 vaccine can:
• help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms
• help you recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19
• help reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from COVID-19
• protect against different types of COVID-19 virus
