CHILDHOOD IMMUNISATIONS

It is very important for children to be immunised. Many diseases have been eradicated due to wide ranging immunisation programmes. Your child may have a mild reaction to an immunisation. This is often a sign that it is doing the right job - protecting your child. Remember severe reactions are very RARE! If you are in any doubt, consult your doctor, practice nurse or health visitor and tell them of any reactions.
