Childhood immunisations are given by the Practice Nurse. These are for children between the ages of 8 weeks and 5 years old.
Child Health Surveillance for new babies includes an appointment with the Doctor for baby’s 8 week check before the Practice Nurse gives the first immunisations.
Check the NHS Childhood Immunisation Schedule.
CHICKEN POX VACCINATION
We are aware of a change to the childhood vaccination schedule to include vaccination against chicken pox from January 2026. However, we are awaiting specific guidance from NHSE. Once this is received we will advise further.
