Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases. 

 

It is important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection.  If you or your child miss a vaccine you can contact your GP surgery to catch up.​

Vaccine Knowledge, managed by Oxford Vaccine Group at the University of Oxford can provide independent, evidence-based information about vaccines in pregnancy, infancy and beyond.
