Let’s keep our little ones safe and healthy as they prepare for their next big adventure - starting school! 🎒

The 4-in-1 pre-school booster vaccine is a crucial step in keeping your child protected against serious diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and polio.

Typically given to children aged 3 years and 4 months, this booster ensures long-lasting immunity before they start school. It’s a quick and effective way to safeguard their health as they grow.

If your child is due for their 4-in-1 booster, make sure to schedule their appointment by getting in touch with your GP Practice.
