Childhood Vaccinations

Thinking about getting your children vaccinated?

At our GP surgery, we believe that childhood immunisations are one of the most important and effective ways to protect your child's health and wellbeing.

Immunisations are designed to protect your child against a range of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and meningitis. By vaccinating your child, you not only protect them from these diseases but also contribute to the overall health and safety of the wider community.

Childhood immunisations are recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UK Department of Health and are provided free of charge by the NHS. The immunisation schedule is carefully designed to provide protection when it is needed most, starting from birth, and continuing throughout childhood.

Immunisation Schedule

By following the immunisation schedule, you can ensure that your child receives the necessary vaccines at the right time, providing them with the best possible protection against disease. It's important to remember that some diseases, such as measles, can have serious long-term consequences, including deafness and brain damage.

As healthcare professionals, we understand that some parents may have concerns about childhood immunisations. However, we believe that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks, and we are here to provide you with all the information and support you need to make an informed decision about your child's health.

At our GP surgery, we are committed to providing comprehensive immunisation services to all our patients, and we work closely with parents to ensure that their child receives the best possible care. If you have any questions or concerns about childhood immunisations, please do not hesitate to contact us – we are here to help.

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccination: What Everyone Should Know

Measles usually starts with cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash a few days later. Some people may also get small spots in their mouth.

If you think your child might have measles, check symptoms on the NHS website.

Protect your child against measles

A short film, produced by the clinical effectiveness group at Queen Mary University of London, aimed at educating parents in Tower Hamlets about the MMR vaccine has been released in both English and Bangla. It provides valuable insights and personal stories to help families make informed decisions and would be useful to use on screens in practice waiting rooms.

It’s very important to make sure that your child has had two doses of the MMR vaccine – this will protect them against three serious illnesses – measles, mumps and rubella.  If your child is aged one or over and hasn’t had their vaccinations, please contact us at the practice as soon as you can to arrange an appointment.

Measles spreads very easily between people who aren’t vaccinated. You can catch it just by spending time in the same room as someone. And it can cause children and people with a weakened immune system to be very unwell.
