The Childhood Immunisation Programme is implemented by the
Primary Care Trust from guidelines set by the Department of Health.
Immunisations are given at your GP practice by your doctor,
practice nurse or health visitor.
The school leaving booster immunisations are given at school by
school nurses after seeking consent from parents or carers in
advance.
The full immunisation schedule from 2 months to 18 years and
information on immunisations for older people can also be viewed on
the NHS immunisation web site at http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk/
A DVD video has been produced by the NHS called
Immunisation Information highlighting the
importance of immunisation in protecting children from serious
diseases. For more information, and to order a copy of the DVD,
go to the
MMR The Facts web site.
Remember it’s never too late if your child has not been
immunised or the immunisation is incomplete. If you need
an appointment, or you require any information, please contact your
GP.
If your child is sent an appointment and you cannot attend, or you
have a query about the appointment, you need to contact the
Childhood Health Records
Department at the Gem Centre who send out all appointments
across Wolverhampton on behalf of your GP practice. Their telephone
number is 01902 444269. They will cancel this one and arrange
another one for you. |
