- We offer a comprehensive childhood immunisation programme.
- Children will automatically be informed by the Child Health Computing Service in Bath that their immunisations are due. They will be invited to contact the surgery to make an appointment for their immunisation injection.
- The Immunisation Clinics are run by the Practice Nurses
- We strongly believe that prevention is better than cure and feel that it is essential that children are protected against these potentially serious diseases
Please note your baby will need to have had their 6 week check with a G.P before attending the first immunisation appointment.
