Starting a new school?
Your child will be learning and playing with more children when they start their new school and could be at risk of catching preventable diseases if they haven't had all their childhood jabs. If you are not sure if your child has had all their routine vaccinations, check their personal health record (Red Book) or give us a call. To
get the best protection for your child, they need to have had two doses of the MMR vaccine.
