Childhood vaccinations

If they’re not vaccinated, they’re not protected.

Vaccinations for preventable illnesses, like measles, are free as part of the NHS childhood vaccination schedule.

In England, vaccines prevent more than 5,000 deaths and more than 100,000 hospital admissions each year.If you do have any questions, do not hesitate to speak to your GP or health visitor – they will be happy to address any concerns and guide you through the vaccination schedule.

Although it important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, if you or your child have missed a vaccine, it is never too late to contact your GP to check if you can catch up.
