Child Immunisations
|
Childhood immunisations are a vital part of
protecting your child against serious illness. Church Street Practice can provide all the immunisations currently recommended by the Department of Health. The first immunisations are given by the health visitor team 8 weeks after birth, however premature or late your child was born. Invitations are sent out from the Child Health Service in Oxford. However before the first immunisation your child should be registered with the Practice and have an 6 week check-up with a GP. Pre-school immunisation reminders are sent out by the Practice. If you are unable to attend please contact the surgery. Presently school nurses are administering the HPV
vaccine program, we are only immunising those girls who have missed out
due to age in the routine program.
