Childhood Vaccinations

Vaccinations protect your child from many serious and potentially deadly diseases. They also protect other people by helping to stop the spread of diseases.

Our nurses are highly trained in giving your child their immunisations.

Please beware: many anti-vaccine stories are spread through social media. They are usually not be based on scientific evidence. You will put your child at risk of a serious illness if you do not get them vaccinated. Vaccines do not cause autism: studies have found no evidence of a link between MMR and autism. Vaccines do not overload or weaken the immune system or cause allergies. Please speak to one of our nurses if you have concerns.

Vaccines sometimes cause mild side effects that will not last long, for example feeling off colour, having a fever, or having a sore arm for 2 or 3 days.
