Childhood immunisations are pre-bookable appointments which are generally held on Tuesday afternoons. Please phone reception to book an appointment.
For the information regarding immunisations up to 13 months please click here.
NHS Choices has a great planner for new parents who can input their baby's details and then download a planner telling them when each immunisation is due. Please click here for a link to the planner.
Here's a checklist of the vaccines that are routinely offered to everyone in the UK free on the NHS, and the age at which you should ideally have them.
