Measles, whooping cough and other serious illnesses can spread quickly between unvaccinated children. These illnesses can make children very sick, leading to hospital stays or lifelong complications.

📆 The school holidays are the perfect time to check your child’s vaccinations are up to date. Speak to your GP, health visitor, or check your child’s red book to find out if any vaccinations have been missed.
