Has your child just started the new school term?

It’s a good time to check they are up to date with their vaccinations. Illnesses like measles and whooping cough can be serious, so to check for any missed vaccines, look in your child’s red book or speak to your GP practice.

Get more information and see the full childhood vaccination schedule here: www.nhs.uk/childhoodvaccinations
