Immunisation and Vaccination Clinics

We consider it important that all children should be protected against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Meningitis C and Haemophilus Meningitis. Dr Martin and two Practice Nurses hold twice-monthly immunisation clinics on Thursday afternoons, and appointment cards are sent direct to patients by the Health Authority. There are very few contraindications to these vaccinations but if you are worried please discuss this with one of the doctors or the Health Visitors.
