💬 Childhood vaccinations can feel like a loaded topic.
And it’s completely normal to have questions.

Dr Sophie Newton has created a short, pressure-free video explaining:
• what childhood vaccines are designed to do
• the real risks and benefits
• how vaccine safety is monitored
• and why she recommends them in clinic

This isn’t about judgement or telling anyone what to think — it’s about clear, honest information to help you make informed choices for your family.

🎥 Watch the video below, take your time, and if you have questions afterwards, we’re always happy to talk.
