Advice on Immunisation
We strongly recommend that all children and babies are immunised against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, MMR and HIB. Thankfully, these serious illnesses are rarely seen nowadays due to the high uptake of vaccination.
Whooping cough (pertussis) causes a very distressing illness with severe prolonged coughing and can cause permanent lung damage. Risk from this vaccination has been greatly overstated in the past. We strongly recommend that all babies have this vaccination along with their other baby jabs. If you have any worries or queries about any aspect of your child’s immunisation, please ask a doctor or nurse.
