One of the best ways to protect your child against diseases like measles, rubella, tetanus and meningitis is through immunisations.
As well as protecting your own child, you’re also protecting others by preventing the spread of disease.
Vaccinations are offered free of charge in the UK – just book your appointments with your GP.
Please contact your GP if you are unsure or have any questions about vaccines or visit the NHS website
