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 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.
Visit our childhood immunisations page to see a timeline of what vaccinations are offered and when.
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.
For general information about vaccines, visit the NHS website.
