Guiseley & Yeadon Medical Practice

CHILDHOOD IMMUNISATIONS

Anyone who has not had 2 MMR jabs before the age of 21 should contact us.
Anyone who has missed school vaccinations for HPV/Diptheria/Tetanus/Polio should contact us.

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.
