We offer a range of clinics and services here at Crown Street Surgery for all your vaccination needs and advice.
Childhood Immunisations
One of the most important things that a parent can do for their child is to make sure that they have all their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.
Ideally, children should have their jabs at the right age to protect them as early as possible and minimise the risk of infection.
Find out which jabs your child needs, when they need them, and what the benefits of each jab are. Your child’s ‘Red Book’ has a list of the immunisation schedule they should follow. Please bring it with you to your child’s appointment so the nurse can update their book.
Please call the surgery on 0208 997 4661 to make an appointment.
