Immunisations are available against lots of infectious diseases which can cause serious illness or, in some cases, can be fatal. The NHS strongly recommends that children are vaccinated against these infections and has published a handy list of childhood immunisations and the age at which they’re usually given.
You can check your child’s vaccination record in their Red Book. If you think your child is behind on any immunisations, you can speak to your general practice, or alternatively attend any of the catch-up sessions which are offered at venues across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes.
If you’re pregnant then you should also make sure you are protected against some nasty infections which can make you very poorly and can even cause damage to your baby. Get more information on recommended vaccinations here.
Our current schedule of catch-up clinics is below. This will be updated as more sessions are arranged.
If your child is up to Year 7 or pre-school age, or if you’re pregnant (all of these are walk-in clinics)
