Immunisations

It’s official!

Vaccines are amongst the safest medicines available!

Vaccines save lives – read here how polio has been eradicated from the world and the impact we are having on whooping cough, diphtheria and meningitis.

Learn here about the benefits and risks of vaccination.

There are a lot of myths circulating that people often worry about – educate yourself and be certain about the facts before making a decision.

The Beeches Medical Centre strongly recommends all patients and especially children to have their vaccinations as soon as they are due.

The tables below show the variety of vaccines people need at different stages in your life. It is important you understand why you need them, what you are protecting yourself and your loved ones from and that the decisions you make not only impact on you but also all those around you too. If you have any concerns then please raise them with your doctor or nurse. 

Childhood vaccinations take place at the surgery every Wednesday morning. Children will be invited by Child Health when their vaccines are due.

If your child has missed any vaccination, we strongly recommend that you contact the practice and make an appointment to have your child vaccinated.
