Childhood immunisations
Infectious diseases can be very serious in babies and young children.
That’s why your child is offered free and safe NHS vaccinations. You can find out what vaccines your child should have and when on our childhood immunisation pages.
You will receive an invitation for the vaccinations from your GP practice.
Your child needs to have some vaccinations more than once to make sure they are fully protected.

Are your child’s vaccinations up to date? Check their Red Book or contact your GP practice if you’re not sure. It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but it’s never too late to catch up on missed doses.
Visit our vaccination hub for more information about the vaccines available to protect you and your family.
