Kids pre school vaccination?

Brighty

Hi all

Our daughter is 4 next month, starts school in Sept. We were talking last night wondering when she'll be due her 4in1 pre school jabs. Googled this morning and it seems they were due at 3yrs 4 months, so 7 months ago, and she's not had them. I guess moving area and registering with a new Dr last summer must have screwed their system up. What do we do now? Ring the Dr's i suppose?

You ring childhood health - if you can't find the number (should be on any paperwork from the new surgery in the red book), call the GP surgery who will have the phone number.

GP surgeries don't schedule childhood health immunisations, childhood health team do (even though you have them usually at a GP surgery).

Thanks, wasn't aware of that.

A quick google led me to a page on my NHS trust website that suggests ringing our area 'childhood immunisation nurse' and gives her number, so we'll do that.

Thanks again

I've always arranged my children's immunisations directly with my GP surgery - child health just used to send a reminder to do it (usually after I'd made the appointment with the nurse).

Ring your GP surgery and ask them as you'll probably have to ring them for an appointment anyway.

Gp will arrange it. Child health, through the immunisation team do the ones children have when they are older, at school.
