World Health Organisation (WHO) World Immunisation Week 24th April 2017

World Health Organisation (WHO) World Immunisation Week
 
A new campaign launches today to start the World Health Organisation (WHO) World Immunisation Week. We urge parents and carers to check that their child's vaccinations are up to date, protecting them from serious diseases and helping prevent outbreaks. Childhood vaccinations are vitally important as they help build up immunity, protecting a child against a host of serious diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, diptheria and some strains of meningitis.
 
A child needs a number of doses of some vaccines to be fully protected. If you are in doubt please check with us to see that your child is fully vaccinated.
