NHS vaccinations

It’s important to make sure that your child has all of their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.

Ideally, children should have their vaccinations at the right age to protect them as early as possible and to minimise the risk of infection.

Your GP will be able to tell you what vaccinations children need. You can also find more information about children’s vaccinations and benefits on the Vaccinations page on the NHS website.

Our Practice Nurses administer all the latest recommended childhood vaccinations. We will contact you based on information from the local child health service. You can ask your Health Visitor if you have any queries.

Seasonal flu is a highly infectious illness that’s caused by a flu virus. The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, and can cause a high temperature, aches and pains. A flu vaccination can help limit your risk of getting the flu.

IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE NHS FLU VACCINE, WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE FOR YOU. Please book online via the NHS App or Patient Access, or contact us at the surgery.

For more information and eligibilty please visit the Flu Influenze vaccine page on the NHS website.

We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad who may need to be vaccinated.

We recommend booking an appointment to see your GP and help plan for your trip. It may take up to eight weeks for a full course of vaccinations, so please contact us well in advance to give yourself plenty of time if you’re planning to go abroad where you’re required to be vaccinated.

Some vaccinations are ordered on a private prescription and not on the NHS, which means that these will be charged for. Your GP will be able to tell you which vaccinations you need, when you need them and if you will need to pay for them.

You can book an appointment to see your GP using our online system. You can also find useful information about travel vaccinations on the Travel vaccinations page on the NHS website.
