Routine vaccinations - is your child up to date?
In the last few weeks, there’s been an increase in the number of measles cases in North West London. Measles spreads easily and can cause serious illnesses including pneumonia and meningitis.
The best way to help protect your child against severe illness from polio, flu, measles, mumps, rubella and other childhood diseases is to get them up to date with their routine vaccinations. In recent years, fewer children have been getting the vaccines they need to help prevent illness now and in the future.
You can contact your GP surgery to check if your child is up to date with their vaccinations. For children and babies, you can also check their personal child health records (the ‘Red Book’).
If your child is not registered with a GP, you can still arrange a vaccination.
