Child and Adult Immunisations

Childhood immunisation programme

The overall aim of the routine childhood immunisation programme is to protect all children against the following preventable childhood infections.  We have a skilled team of nurses who administer our vaccinations and we offer all the immunisations listed below:

  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Polio
  • Pertussis (whooping cough)
  • Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
  • Meningococcal group B (MenB)
  • Meningococcal group C (MenC)
  • Meningococcal group W, A and Y
  • Measles, mumps, rubella
  • Pneumococcal
  • Rotavirus
  • Influenza
  • Human Papillomavirus – HPV (Cervical cancer)

Every effort should be made to ensure that all children are immunised, even if they are older than the recommended age range.  If any course of immunisation is interrupted, it should be resumed and completed as soon as possible.

If you are unsure of the vaccination status of your child, don’t worry, just make an appointment with one of our nurses and we can discuss what immunisations are required.
