It is essential for children to be fully immunised and we advise that current Department of Health recommendations should be strictly adhered to.
This means:
- A full course of three doses of polio, pneumococcal, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough,
- HiB (Meningitis) and meningitis C vaccines monthly from the post-natal visit at two months,
- Measles mumps and rubella at fourteen months and booster diphtheria, tetanus, and polio at four and fourteen years.
- In addition, MMR II is given also at the age of four or fourteen.
Bookings for vaccinations and immunisations can be made by calling the practice.
Invitations to attend are sent automatically by the Health Authority who maintain the database of childhood immunisation.
