Vaccination is the most important thing we can do to protect our children against ill health.
All babies and children will be invited for regular immunisations from eight weeks old.
You will be invited to bring your child to the practice when they reach the age of 8 weeks old. All new mothers will also be given a health check as well. 
You can attend this service without a referral and please remember to bring your child’s red book or immunisation record with you.
If you have any concerns please feel free to ring the practice on 0121 389 1100, and we will be happy to discuss this further.
Why is child immunisation so important?
Vaccination is the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves and our children against ill health. They prevent millions of deaths worldwide every year.
Since vaccines were introduced in the UK, diseases like smallpox, polio and tetanus that used to kill or disable millions of people are either gone or are now very rarely seen.
Other diseases like measles and diphtheria have reduced to a very low number of cases each year since vaccines were introduced. These cases are often related to travel.
However, if people stop having vaccines, it’s possible for infectious diseases to quickly spread again.
