Parents, you may have received a reminder about outstanding MMR/MMRV vaccinations.

Please submit a request through our website or contact us on 020 8397 9494 to book your child’s appointment.

If you’re unsure whether your child is up-to-date, we are more than happy to check this for you.

If you believe your child has had vaccinations that may not be on their NHS notes, please send us a photo of your child’s red book or immunisation records so we can update the system.

We are seeing a rise in measles cases in parts of England.

Vaccination is the most effective way to protect children from serious illness.

We’re encouraging parents to check their children are up to date with their vaccinations. Check your child's red book or speak to their GP practice.
