Other information
If you have any concerns or questions regarding your child’s vaccinations and immunisations, please discuss these with your health visitor prior to your appointment day.
In the event of an emergency or other extenuating circumstances, the clinic may be cancelled without notice. If this occurs we will offer alternative appointments.
Finally, for everybody’s comfort and safety, we would be grateful if you would leave the surgery following your child’s immunisation as space is extremely limited.
