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.

You will be contacted by the national immunisation programme (usually by letter) inviting you to book your child’s vaccinations at the practice.
If you know your child is due for a vaccination and you haven’t received your invite, you can speak to your GP surgery to book the appointment.
It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but if you or your child missed a vaccine, contact the practice to arrange any catch-up vaccinations.
From July 2025, there has been a national change to the schedule of childhood vaccinations, including the introduction of a new routine vaccination appointment at 18 months old. See below for information on the new programme:
More changes are expected from January 2026 and this page will be updated when more information is available.
