Shingles vaccinations
A vaccine to prevent shingles, a common, painful skin disease, is available on the NHS.
You can find out more about the shingles vaccine, including if you are eligible, on the NHS website.
You’ll be contacted by your GP surgery when you become eligible for the vaccine.
Pneumococcal vaccine
The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against serious illnesses like pneumonia and meningitis. It’s recommended for people at higher risk of these illnesses, such as babies and adults aged 65 and over.
Childhood Vaccinations
We’ll contact you when your child is eligible for the vaccinations. This could be a letter, text, phone call or email.
If you think your child has missed any vaccinations, please submit a request form to make sure they haven’t had them before booking.
