World Immunisation Week - 24th-30th April

Are your child's pre-school vaccinations up to date?

Do you know how to find out if they're not?

This World Immunisation Week, Family Hubs are supporting families to check whether their child is up to date with their preschool vaccines by sharing a colourful infographic produced by the UK Health Security Agency. 

Vaccines:

• help to protect you and your child from many serious and potentially deadly diseases

• protect other people in your family and community – by helping to stop diseases spreading to people who cannot have vaccines, such as babies too young to be vaccinated and those who are too ill to be vaccinated

• undergo rigorous safety testing before being introduced – they're also constantly monitored for side effects after being introduced

• sometimes cause mild side effects that will not last long – you may feel a bit unwell and have a sore arm for 2 or 3 days

• reduce or even get rid of some diseases – if enough people are vaccinated
